Description

Many books in evolutionary psychology emphasize only a small a part of the total picture. Evolutionary Psychology gives students a clear understanding of how current psychological knowledge of human behavior and experience draws from a lot of perspectives. It begins with an understanding of evolution and the close connection between organisms and their environment. It provides the student the basics important to see how the environment and the turning off and on of genes can influence humans and the cultures during which they live. The book shows that we solve certain problems of life as many species have done for years. It also shows a glimpse of human abilities not seen in other species. We use language. We purposely teach our children. We build large cities that live to tell the tale long after a single generation. We create cultures that through their writings and art can influence other humans thousands of years later. Current research in social processes, decision making, and brain imaging is presented in a clear manner all through the book. The book emphasizes developmental processes and circle of relatives relationships, sexual and social relationships, in addition to emotionality and language. The book concludes by applying an evolutionary understanding approach to examine the areas of health and disease, psychopathology, and culture.
