"This is a fairly comprehensive look at evolutionary family psychology. The figures and tables are helpful, although the book is rather difficult to read without a good foundation in this field. All in all, it is another good volume in the Oxford publishing tradition." -- Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D. (Cermak Health Services), Doody's
"This handbook provides an antidote to the often scientifically suspect information presented in standard works on family and psychology and intimate relations. In looking at how evolution has likely selected current human family structures, this book provides solid coverage of everything from genetic and hormaonal factors involved in family systems, to social and family systems of humans' evolutionary cousins (great apes and chimpanzees), to mating, family,
and social systems of other species... Recommended." -- S.R. Flora, Youngstown State University, CHOICE

Relationships with family are important to our emotional health and can play a significant role in our social success. We need our families and yet frequently have a great difficulty understanding them. Hundreds of books have been published with the goal of improving understanding and relationships among family and relationships; few, if any, have done so with an evolutionary approach. The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Family Psychology focuses on the reasons underlying family behavior and how a greater understanding of these factors can help us to better understand our own family behaviors. Recognizing that a deeper understanding of human families can be found through an understanding of similar phenomena in other species, the volume demonstrates how an understanding of family ties can inform understanding of our relationships to non-kin.
