The last decade has witnessed a dramatic change in our
understanding of the way in which the mind operates and the reasons
behind a myriad of human behaviours. The traditional idea that
nurture trumps nature in explanations of human behaviour has been
supplanted by evolutionary psychological explanations, which posit
that human beings share evolved mental architectures that govern
their behaviour. Evolutionary Psychology brings together seminal
work from key scholars in the field and explores the ways in which
evolutionary psychological research can illuminate our
understanding of human behaviours and nature. Evolutionary
Psychology provides a thorough introduction to evolutionary
approaches to psychology, covering topics on: * Applications of
evolutionary theory to psychology * The evolution of cognition and
how it interacts with culture * Cooperation * Physical attraction,
mate choice and sexual selection * Life history theory * Parenting
and families * Personality and individual differences * Social
cognition and psychoses * The future of evolutionary psychology
Written to support undergraduates and masters students studying
Evolutionary Psychology and Biological Psychology, this book
critically evaluates the extant literature while maintaining the
need for evolutionary psychologies.
