Mission:
-------------------------------------------------------

The Evolutionary Review: Art, Science, Culture provides a forum for evolutionary critiques in all the fields of the arts, human sciences, and culture: essays and reviews on film, fiction, theater, visual art, music, dance, and popular culture; essays and reviews of books, articles, and theories related to evolution and evolutionary psychology; and essays and reviews on science, society, and the environment.

Essays in The Evolutionary Review implicitly affirm E. O. Wilson’s vision of "consilience," i.e., the unity of knowledge; they also give evidence that an evolutionary perspective can yield a richer, more complete understanding of the world and ourselves.

Criteria for selecting essays include depth and seriousness in evolutionary thinking, imaginative force, and excellence of style. Potential contributors should establish a distinct, individual point of view, avoiding academese and neutral summary. The editors value incisiveness and clarity, energy, wit and humor, vivid language and striking imagery, tonal nuance, and a knack for engaging the interest of readers.

Essays should be relatively short (less than 4,000 words). Reviews of single books should be less than 1,500 words. MLA citation style. Footnotes should be used sparingly, if at all.

Illustrations, when appropriate (movie stills, art objects, cartoons) will be considered.
