Our experience of the world is driven by processes common to all
animals: growth, survival, reproduction and death. Evolution and Human
Behaviour explores the complexities of the human experience through
the lens of Darwinism, drawing on a long and vibrant tradition of
different theories and interpretations. This textbook offers a
compelling synthesis of key concepts, addressing human thought,
feeling and behaviour in fundamental evolutionary terms. This is a
essential text for undergraduate students taking courses in
psychology, human biology, ethology, anthropology and human
behavioural ecology, providing an insightful and comprehensive
introduction for anyone who wishes to understand how human behaviour
has evolved. New to this Edition: - Additional chapters on health and
disease, homosexuality, the nature of adaptations and life history
theory. - Includes brand-new material on epigenetics, patterns of
crime, error management theory, moral foundations theory, religion and
gene culture co-evolution. - Now accompanied by a companion website
offering additional reading material and useful practice questions -
New 'controversy' boxes in each chapter, providing ideas for essay
topics and classroom discussion
