Note: Some potentially viable naturalistic and evolutionary theories are not listed because they do not yet make specific, falsifiable predictions or have not been subjected to sufficient empirical tests. Theories advanced mainly in books, which are generally not peer-reviewed, are also not considered (unless they are supported by peer-reviewed evidence).
