As the introduction to this discussion states, "Needless to say, that evolution is responsible for all of our physical and psychological characteristics."

And in this episode of The Life of the Mind, cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker "discusses evolutionary psychology, the study of behavior, thought, and emotion viewed through the lens of evolutionary biology."

The discussion is 13 m 31 s long and may be viewed here. 

It is also a very good review of the theory of evolution and how it informs the study of biology.
