Originally published in 1998, the aim of the Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology was to compile a volume that would facilitate the development of the evolutionary approach to human behavior by communicating some of the major ideas, issues, and applications of the Theory of Evolution at the time.Part I introduces readers to those aspects of evolutionary theorizing that had been particularly important during the previous decade, and were believed would continue to be important for some time. Part II deals with some of the central issues in the application of the Theory of Evolution to the study of human behavior. The chapters in Part III illustrate how a variety of researchers and scholars were using evolutionary thinking to explain psychological phenomena. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1998. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
