Originally published in 1979, this book provides students with an
example of the ways in which an evolutionary perspective can
rephrase and clarify traditional questions and issues in
psychology. The format provides the student firstly with the
minimal amount of basic information in neuroanatomy, genetics and
modern evolutionary theory in a form which is readily related to
the remainder of the volume. The book then goes on to consider the
relationships between different forms of explanation in biology,
and the role of brain behaviour students in these relationships.
Finally, the reader is given an opportunity to follow the reasoning
which stems from a biological approach when applied to topics in
human behaviour such as learning, dreaming, sleeping, exploration,
anxiety, reasoning, intelligence and consciousness. Modern
evolutionary biology places man in a broader context than does
traditional psychology, and this new perspective reduces our
tendency to view life solely from a human standpoint. The
significance as well as the uniqueness of some traditionally
'human' attributes are challenged by this approach.
