The relationship between how we evolved and how we behave is a
controversial and fascinating field of study. From how we choose a
mate to how we socialize with other people, the evolutionary
process has an enduring legacy on the way we view the world.
Evolution and Behavior provides students with a thorough and
accessible introduction to this growing discipline. Placing
evolutionary psychology in context with the core areas of
psychology - developmental, cognitive and social - the book
explores some of the most fundamental questions we can ask about
ourselves. Taking students through the principles of natural
selection, it provides a nuanced understanding of key topics such
as: cognitive development and the role of intelligence, memory,
emotions and perception, mental health and abnormal psychology,
sexual reproduction and family relationships, the development of
culture. Addressing a number of controversial debates in the field,
each chapter also includes concept boxes, the definition of key
terms, chapter summaries and further reading. This is the ideal
introductory textbook for anyone interested in evolutionary
psychology. It will provide not only an essential overview of this
emerging field, but also deepen readers' appreciation of the core
tenets of psychology as a whole.
