Rezension zu „Evolution and Human Behaviour “
'This offers a well-balanced approach to the subject of evolutionary approaches to human behaviour. The revised edition still contains more evolutionary biology than other evolutionary psychology textbooks which is a real strength. The new chapter on ethics is a valuable addition as it presents philosophical arguments linked to an evolutionary approach to human behaviour.' - Dr Julie Coultas, University of Sussex 'I warmly welcome this new edition. The author has expanded and updated the content and scope while maintaining the critical approach so important in the first edition. The inclusion of newer material means that this text will form a good "fit" to numerous evolutionary courses now on offer, whether as undergraduate options, or for more advanced Master's programmes.' - Dr Nick Neave, Northumbria University
