This text takes an interdisciplinary look at the phenomena of human bonding. The authors draw upon behavioural genetics, molecular genetics of behaviour, cognitive and affective neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, human ethology, behavioural ecology, and the study of attachment processes within developmental psychology. The topics focus on human reproduction, and fertility-related behaviour in particular, and the evolutionary origins and neural underpinnings of such behaviour. This book is for anyone interested in the evolutionary origins, neural underpinnings, and psychological structure involved in human relationships.

Recent work in quantitative biology has shown theoretically why Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection does not preclude genetic influences on fertility, sexuality, and related processes. This work takes the next step, and presents a number of successful empirical searches for such genetic influence on a broad range of processes, such as puberty, marriage, sexual behaviour, and twinning. Employing a broad range of methodological approaches, including molecular and behavioral genetics, this text weaves a new theoretical framework that shows how genes can help relate fertility planning to fertility outcome, and how puberty, sexuality, marriage, and reproduction can be conceptually linked through the genes that contribute to individual differences in the human process.

Teaching Statistics and Quantitative Methods in the 21st Century is a guide for rethinking and revitalizing statistics and quantitative methods pedagogy for both novice and experienced instructors at undergraduate and graduate levels. It offers modern, transformative approaches to prepare students as future researchers.Now in its second edition, this ground-breaking volume tackles the question of how introductory statistics and quantitative methods should be taught, drawing on contributions from highly accomplished teachers. Many current textbooks and syllabi remain little changed from those used half a century ago, despite major developments in the field and its role in research. The book rests on a core principle: Introductory teaching should open the pathway to advanced training and equip students to become accomplished researchers.New chapters address:The role of Artificial Intelligence in teaching statisticsClassroom software applications and appletsAutomated homework generation and gradingTeaching the replication crisisNew treatments of p-values, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and abductionA pedagogical approach based on statistical modeling rather than hypothesis testingUpdated and expanded chapters from the first edition are included alongside these new contributions, presenting both classroom innovations and philosophical challenges to the status quo. The result is a call for a broad reimagining of how statistics and quantitative methods are introduced, designed to engage students, support new instructors, and renew the practice of seasoned teachers.

This text takes an interdisciplinary look at the subjects of fertility and reproduction. Key topics include: anorexia as a reproductive disease with evolutionary origins; the evolutionary basis of menarche; the familial (genetic) basis of having boys versus girls; twin fertility; and extramarital childbearing. This book is for advanced level students and researchers who study human reproduction and fertility.

The Ontogeny of Human Bonding Systems takes an interdisciplinary look at the phenomena of human bonding. The authors draw upon behavioral genetics, molecular genetics of behavior, cognitive and affective neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, human ethology, behavioral ecology, and the study of attachment processes within developmental psychology. The topics will emphasize human reproduction, and fertility-related behavior in particular, and the evolutionary origins and neural underpinnings of such behavior. This book is for anyone interested in the evolutionary origins, neural underpinnings, and psychological structure involved in human relationships.
