Psychology

A short, broad introduction to the emerging field of evolutionary psychology (the study of adaptive significance of behavior).

• Ten short chapters introduce the student to the major topics within the field of evolutionary psychology (from Social Order and Disorder to Mating and Reproduction to The Creative Impulse: The Origins of Technology and Art).

• Chapter-opening and chapter-ending discussion questions provide opportunity for classroom discussion.

• Interesting boxed features expose the students to some of the controversies within the field.

Each chapter concludes with "Chapter Summary."
