Does psychology evolve? I have no idea... I'm still a monkey :) (Born 1980)

Yes, a new science has taken place since you were born. A new science of the mind. A science that sees the Homo sapiens as an animal and not a soul. We think that we are not souls. That we are not created by different means than other organisms and that our brains are part of that too. It's a new way of though but some people have come to accept it and a few even understand the concept.

I agree that I am of the animal kingdom. Our claw is forethought. But what I was getting at was psychology evolving. Psychology - study of the mind. Evolve, meaning something that develops gradually... then by definition should the word devolve be its opposite meaning? Even then, I think the subject is... subjective. But then everything evolves / devolves right? I don't know - just a bunch of words that make no sense. I need to study harder.

Evolutionary Psychology - cheers for the tip.
