This is an accessible and comprehensive student textbook dealing explicitly with Darwinism and human affairs. It is an overview of the key theoretical principles of human sociobiology and evolutionary psychology and shows how they illuminate the way humans think and behave. This textbook will be of value to psychology and biology undergraduates but specifically those studying evolutionary psychology, animal behaviour and evolutionary theory, sociobiology, biological anthropology and behavioural ecology. This new edition devotes more to key topics, and takes into account recent research in the area. Additions include material on mental disorders, emotions and their expression, the evolutionary basis to morality, and cognition.
