More Dylan Evans, Oscar Zarate - Introducing Evolutionary Psychology (Introducing...)

Drawing upon the insights of evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology, as well as data from anthropology, primatology and archeology, evolutionary psychologists are beginning to piece together the first truly scientific account of human nature.

Reviews& 8220;Provocative introduction which inspires further study

Having read Richard Dawkin's Selfish Gene, and being interested in psychology, I was naturally inclined towards this book. It is a good introduction to what is obviously a progressive subject and one that has provoked further questions in my own mind. The author gives a highly interesting account and the illustrations are, as ever, brilliantly illuminating. I would recomend reading this book not only for its content but also for the thoughts it inspires.... Why have we evolved a sophisticated (and comlicating!) consciousness when Dawkins et al regard us to be nothing more than basic gene machines solely concerned with the propagation of ourselves? Why have humans emerged as cognitively superior to animals when the latter manage to propagate effectively without 'our' higher intelligence? These questions (and many others) are not answered in this book but I hope you can begin to see the range of thought it inspires.

Evolutionary Psychology is a new and exciting field

Why are we what we are? What makes the minds of Apes different from those of Humans? What makes males and females different 'Psychologically'?

These are the questions that the relatively new field of Evolutionary Psychology is currently attempting to answer. It is a field that attempts to compare and combine the work of scientists from such diverse disciplines as psychology, anthropology and archaeology (amongst others). By doing so it offers new and convincing explanations for what exactly it means to be a Human.

The narrative of this book is thoroughly engrossing and together with the excellent illustrations of Oscar Zarate, this book provides a good introduction to this complex and constantly 'Evolving' science.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys short, succinct and informative books& 8221;!
