1/24/12 An exciting new initiative is underway to create an online database taxonomy of evolutionary psychological adaptations! The initiative already has the support of some major evolutionary psychologists and is currently seeking researchers to endorse and/or contribute to the project, as well as those with web expertise who can help with creation of the site. To learn more about the project, see Niruban Balachandran’s article on the taxonomy, and if you’re interested in joining the effort, e-mail him at niruban25@gmail.com!

What is the EvoS Consortium?
The Evolutionary Studies (EvoS) Consortium is designed to facilitate the development and implementation of Evolutionary Studies Programs at colleges and universities across the United States. An Evolutionary Studies Program introduces students from all majors to evolutionary theory early in their academic careers, emphasizes human-related subjects in addition to biological, promotes the continuation of evolutionary training throughout the undergraduate education, and promotes faculty training and collaborative research related to evolution.
The EvoS Consortium is a website that provides the tools and a community space for evolutionary training in institutions of higher education. The Consortium website (affiliated with EvoS Journal: The Journal of the Evolutionary Studies Consortium) is a space for both faculty and undergraduate members of Evolutionary Studies Programs, as well as those interested in starting a program.
A major goal of the Consortium is growth – we hope to expand the consortium such that EvoS programs replicate widely. As such, we openly welcome other institutions to join. Steps associated with starting an EvoS program and joining the Consortium are described in the pages included in the Membership tab at the top of the page.
