Ecological affordances across life stages and evolutionary mismatch: hormonal contraceptives as an illustrative example

We integrated Ko and Neuberg's proposed framework with the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis to suggest that ancestrally novel dimensions of the environment not only pose their own affordances but may also interact with other environmental dimensions to dynamically alter the affordances they pose. Using hormonal contraceptives as an illustrative example, we delineated several testable predictions that follow from these ideas.
