Editorial Reviews
Review
"...In this second edition of a work that first appeared in 2004, Workman and Reader provide a solid overview of evolutionary psychology....The writing is fluid, and their presentation of the concepts and perspectives of evolutionary psychology are accessible....the book is strongest in areas where the field is strong (mate selection, kinship, and group behavior)....No library of any size should be without a book, if not a section, on evolutionary psychology, and this title, though intended as a textbook, is a candidate....Recommended..."
--S.R. Flora, Youngstown State University, CHOICE
Product Description
Evolutionary psychology starts from the premise that the human brain is the product of natural selection; therefore, by adopting an evolutionary stance, we might come to better understand the mind and behaviour. The second edition of this highly acclaimed textbook gives an introduction to the fascinating science of evolutionary psychology covering its history, from the Ancient Greeks to the present day, and discusses how evolution can illuminate many of the topics taught in psychology departments. This new edition, now in 2 colour, includes an additional chapter on 'Evolution and Individual Differences' which discusses how evolution might account for differences in personality and intelligence. With an engaging style and user-friendly format featuring end-of-chapter summaries, critical thinking questions and guides to further reading, this is a stand-alone textbook for undergraduates studying evolutionary psychology.
