Reader reviews for Evolution and Human Behaviour

From the publisher

Our experience of the world is driven by processes common to all animals: growth, survival, reproduction and death. Evolution and Human Behaviour explores the complexities of the human experience through the lens of Darwinism, drawing on a long and vibrant tradition of different theories and interpretations. This textbook offers a compelling synthesis of key concepts, addressing human thought, feeling and behaviour in fundamental evolutionary terms.

This is a essential text for undergraduate students taking courses in psychology, human biology, ethology, anthropology and human behavioural ecology, providing an insightful and comprehensive introduction for anyone who wishes to understand how human behaviour has evolved.

New to this Edition:
- Additional chapters on health and disease, homosexuality, the nature of adaptations and life history theory.
- Includes brand-new material on epigenetics, patterns of crime, error management theory, moral foundations theory, religion and gene culture co-evolution.
- Now accompanied by a companion website offering additional reading material and useful practice questions
- New 'controversy' boxes in each chapter, providing ideas for essay topics and classroom discussion
