Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an important book. Readers partial to evolutionary psychology, as well as those who remain skeptical, will benefit from a careful reading of this reader-friendly book…The author endorses the core assumptions of evolutionary psychology…but, refreshingly, he includes, often with a new slant, relevant material usually overlooked by both believers and skeptics."

Review

"Bridgeman’s Psychology and Evolution is a superb textbook in evolutionary psychology…I see it as a landmark in the emergence of evolutionary psychology as no longer a controversial minority current but as a central aspect of the mainstream. The book reflects the state of the art in current work in evolutionary psychology…the reader is brought up-to-date about evolutionary theory, modern genetics, human prehistory, and relevant issues in modern linguistics."
(M. Brewster Smith )

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction for a general reader, July 22, 2008

By	Alan Venable "Author/creator of 'Dr. Peanut'... (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Once you've escaped from college, how often do you even LOOK AT another textbook? If you're interested in evolution or recent research in psychology, this one is well worth reading for its reliable broad perspective on the evolutionary psychology and how its ideas can/should be the basis for psychology as a field. Not that the physical evolution of the brain is all we need to consider, but that without that psychology continues to be such a slush of barely related ideas. I'd already read other books about emerging neuroscience, but Bridgeman's helped me better understand how that work is more and more infusing the study of mental and overt behavior. The book isn't overly long on topics, and it isn't encyclopedic and short on depth like most recent introductory textbooks, and it's always readable, often entertaining too. It'll let you know where psychology is ultimately headed. Nutty to Meet You! Dr. Peanut Book #1
