John Tooby (26 de julho de 1952 - 9 de novembro de 2023)[1] foi um antropólogo norte-americano que, junto com a esposa e psicóloga Leda Cosmides, ajudou a abrir o campo da psicologia evolutiva.[2][3]

Tooby recebeu seu Ph.D. em Antropologia Biológica pela Universidade de Harvard em 1989 e atualmente é Professor de Antropologia na Universidade da Califórnia, Santa Bárbara.

Em 1992, juntamente com Cosmides e Jerome Barkow, Tooby editou The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and the Generation of Culture. Tooby e Cosmides também cofundaram e codirigiram o Center for Evolutionary Psychology na Universidade da Califórnia em Santa Bárbara. Cosmides e Tooby são os destinatários conjuntos do Prêmio Jean Nicod 2020.[4]

David Buss, in the textbook Evolutionary Psychology (Allyn & Bacon, 1999), pp. xxi-xxii: "In the writing of this book I owe the greatest intellectual debt to Leda Cosmides, John Tooby, Don Symons, Martin Daly, and Margo Wilson, pioneers and founders of the emerging field of evolutionary psychology."

See also Geoffrey Miller, "How to Keep Our Meta-Theories Adaptive: Beyond Cosmides, Tooby, and Lakatos" Psychological Inquiry 11:1 (2000), p. 42: "For a young science barely a decade old, evolutionary psychology has achieved a remarkably strong metatheoretical consensus. [...] [E]volutionary psychology's metatheory was also shaped very strongly by a series of ambitious, persuasive, and visionary articles by Cosmides and Tooby in the late 1980s and early 1990s that showed how adaptationism could be applied to the human mind. The Cosmides-Tooby vision of evolutionary psychology profoundly influenced the thinking of other leading researchers, such as Buss, Gigerenzer, Pinker, and Thornhill. It was also adopted as the conceptual framework in the most influential popular accounts of evolutionary psychology."
