Question

Do you think that the evolutionary psychology approach answers the criticism leveled against multiple-intelligence approaches?

Answer 1

Till date " there have been no published studies that offer evidence of the validity of the multiple-intelligence approaches. In 2000 Allix reported finding no empirical validating studies, and at that time Gardner and Connell (2000) conceded that there was “little hard evidence for MI theory” (p. 292)." Thus evolutionary psychology which itself assumes that; human evolution occurred in a uniform environment, and its critics suggest that we know so little about the environment cannot answer the criticism leveled against multiple-intelligence approaches.
