Irrationality, suboptimality, and the evolutionary context (2003)
Journal Article

We propose that a direct analogy can be made between optimal behaviour in animals and rational behaviour in humans, and that lessons learned by the study of the former can be applied to the latter. Furthermore, we suggest that, to understand human de... Read More about Irrationality, suboptimality, and the evolutionary context.
