This unique volume is one of the first of its kind to examine
infancy through an evolutionary lens, identifying infancy as a
discrete stage during which particular types of adaptations arose
as a consequence of certain environmental pressures. Infancy is a
crucial time period in psychological development, and evolutionary
psychologists are increasingly recognizing that natural selection
has operated on all stages of development, not just adulthood. The
volume addresses this crucial change in perspective by highlighting
research across diverse disciplines including developmental
psychology, evolutionary developmental psychology, anthropology,
sociology, nutrition, and primatology. Chapters are grouped into
four sections: Theoretical Underpinnings Brain and Cognitive
Development Social/Emotional Development Life and Death
Evolutionary Perspectives on Infancy sheds new light on our
understanding of the human brain and the environments responsible
for shaping the brain during early stages of development. This book
will be of interest to evolutionary psychologists and developmental
psychologists, biologists, and anthropologists, as well as scholars
more broadly interested in infancy.
