Bluff your way in Evolutionary psychology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introducing Evolutionary Psychology (Paperback)
This book is a very good introduction if you want to learn about the subject in an hour or so. It won't take you much longer to read it cover to cover.As a consequence, if you already know anything at all about the subject, you are unlikely to learn anything new. It is difficult to fault this book on this basis, since it does after all advertise itself as an introduction, but readers looking for even a moderate development of the ideas should look elsewhere.

Evolutionary Psychology is a new and exciting field.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introducing Evolutionary Psychology (Paperback)
Introducing Evolutionary Psychology by Dylan Evans and Oscar ZarateWhy 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!
