Beskrivning
The fully revised fifth edition of this highly acclaimed undergraduate textbook provides a thought-provoking introduction to evolutionary psychology, while assuming no prior knowledge of evolutionary theory. The authors continue to carefully guide students towards a level of understanding where they can critically apply evolutionary theory to psychological explanation, providing an engaging and balanced discussion of the field. New material has been added on female homosexuality, artificial intelligence and language, cooking and human brain expansion, Covid-19 and rates of evolutionary change, and the effects of digital media on mental health. This edition also has new and revised boxed case studies, many new figures, extra discussion questions, and additional further reading suggestions. The text is accompanied by online resources including an updated test bank and lecture slides, as well as new answers to the end-of-chapter questions. This is essential reading for students taking undergraduate and graduate courses in evolutionary psychology.

Recensioner i media

'Maintaining its accessibility to all and taking on cutting-edge research into new topics from female homosexuality and intimate partner violence, to the effects of digital media and the COVID-19 pandemic and, of course, artificial intelligence, Evolutionary Psychology gets us out of our silos and embraces the interdisciplinary ethos of learning, teaching and research today.' Lindsay Murray, University of Chester
