The environment of evolutionary adaptedness (EEA) refers to a group of selection pressures occurring during an adaptation's period of evolution responsible for producing the adaptation (Tooby and Cosmides, 1992). Each adaptation has its own EEA, or set of adaptive problems, that shaped it over evolutionary time. Source

I'm guessing my EEA didn't have focus groups, PR, HR, attack ads, infomercials, teaser rates or sponsored programming.
