Error Management is a theory that looks at history of cognitive biases throughout evolution. It was put forth by David Buss and Martie Haselton. Such biases and heuristics over the vast time line of evolutionary history could have only existed if they held at least slight reproductive benefits. The drive to reduce or manage costly reproductive errors is the root of the theory. However, since evolution is purposeless—it has no "intentions"--EM adaptations are not aimed at accuracy but are "designed to err in the direction of lower survival or reproductive cost".
