Evolution of the Psyche

"Evolutionary psychology is the new paradigm for the study of the mind and human nature. Although earlier writers fixated on sexual politics, this marvelous book of readings goes beyond sex to analyze memory, creativity, insight, humor, aesthetics, and mental illness...it is an indispensable introduction to the topic."-Robert Hogan McFarlin Professor of Psychology University of Tulsa "With this volume, evolutionary psychology has come of age. In addition to dealing with tried-and-true issues such as sexual strategies, it shows that the evolutionary paradigm can shed new light on complex issues such as creativity, insight, humor, memory, dreams, mental disorders, treatment, and forgiveness...a truly exciting book."-Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Professor of Psychology, University of Chicago Author of Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
