Evolutionary psychology is a part of biological psychology. In biological psychology we learn about the inner workings of the brain and how it can affect our behavior or cause disorders.
The seven major perspectives in psychology are biological, behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, humanistic, evolutionary, and sociocultural. Each perspective offers a unique way of understanding human behavior and mental processes, contributing to the diverse field of psychology.
Both cross-cultural and evolutionary psychology seek to understand human behavior and cognition through different perspectives. Cross-cultural psychology examines how culture shapes behavior and mental processes, while evolutionary psychology focuses on how evolution has shaped psychological mechanisms that are universally shared among humans. Both fields emphasize the importance of considering context and history in understanding human psychology.
Evolutionary psychology is the study of how human psychological traits have evolved and adapted throughout history. All major universities and colleges with psychology departments will offer coursework in evolutionary psychology. Schools with the best known psychology departments are The University of Texas at Austin, University of Arizona and The University of California, Santa Barbara.
Seven of the major psychological perspectives are: psychoanalytic, behaviorist, humanist, cognitive, neuroscientific/biopsychological, evolutionary and sociocultural.
The publication of "On Human Nature" by E.O. Wilson initiated the sociobiology approach to psychology, which seeks to understand human behavior through the application of principles from evolutionary biology and genetics. Wilson proposed that human behavior, like other biological traits, can be explained in terms of natural selection and evolutionary processes.

Evolutionary Psychology - journal - was created in 2003.
The perspective that focuses on the biological bases for universal mental characteristics shared by all humans is known as the evolutionary psychology perspective. This approach examines how evolutionary processes, such as natural selection, have shaped human behavior and cognition. It posits that certain psychological traits and mechanisms are innate and have developed to enhance survival and reproduction across different environments. By emphasizing the role of biology, evolutionary psychology seeks to explain commonalities in human thought and behavior.

This question makes no sense, because physiological (or biological) psychology is a different branch than abnormal psychology. Biological psychology deals with organic psychological processes, such as what specific neurons do, what parts of the brain do, and what happens during specific biological events - such as drug usage or brain trauma. Abnormal psychology studies behavior that is abnormal in a particular context. This could range from depression to personality disorders. Abnormal behavior could have biological causes, if that's what you mean, but there is no specific branch for that. It just depends what you're focusing on (the biological or the abnormal).
Biological psychology is the application of the principles of biology to the study of mental processes and behaviour.
