out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not
have the money to buy products from other countries The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of
the war, almost no one would accept it As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still

A small but growing group of scholar, evolutionary, psychologists, are being to sketch the contours of the
human mind as designed by natural selection Some of them even anticipate the coming of a field called
"mismatch theory", which would study maladies resulting from contrasts between the modern environment
and the "ancestral environment" The one we were designed for
There is no shortage of such maladies to study, Rates of depression have been doubling in some industrial countries roughly every 10 years Suicide is the third most common cause of death among young adults, after car wrecks and homicides

Trang 6at home is hardly a "natural" and healthful living arrangement, especially for the wives Moreover,
the bygone lifestyles that do look fairly natural in light of evolutionary psychology appear to have been
eroded largely by commercialism Perhaps the biggest surprise from evolutionary psychology it its depiction of the "animal" in us Freud, and various thinkers since, saw "civilization" as an oppressive force that thwarts basic animal instincts and urges and transmutes them into psychopathology However, evolutionary psychology suggests that a larger threat to metal health may be the way civilization
thwarts civility There is a gentler, kinder side of human nature, and it seems increasingly to be a victim of
