Evolutionary theory is driving forward our understanding of human
behaviour like never before. Yet, many of us lack a firm grasp of
the basics of the theory of evolution - a clear picture of what
evolution is, and how and why it operates. But such clarity is
essential if we are to fully understand and explore the fascinating
behavioural questions that lie before us.
Evolution and Genetics for Psychology lays out the conceptual
toolkit one needs in order to think in evolutionary terms - and to
apply this thinking to any subject. With the toolkit firmly in
place, it goes on to show how these key concepts are applied to
issues of human behaviour, from sex to social relationships, to
learning.
Evolution and Genetics for Psychology does not set out to teach
evolutionary psychology or behavioural genetics, but explores the
key fundamental principles on which such disciplines are based. If
you need to understand what heritability really means, what the
difference is between a gene and an allele, or whether evolutionary
and social explanations are compatible, this book is the survival
guide you need.
