Praise for Evolutionary Psychology: A Beginner’s Guide

“The evolutionary approach to the human mind is becoming more and

more inﬂuential,but its claims and assumptions are often misunderstood by

proponents and critics alike.This slim but important volume gives us a very

readable – and much needed – overview of what evolutionary psychology

is and is not . ”

Dr Daniel Nettle, Lecturer in Psychology, University of

Newcastle upon Tyne, England

“I like this book very much. It is well-written and easy to read, and clears

up many of the most persistent misunderstandings about evolutionary

psychology . ”

Dr Susan Blackmore, author of The Meme Machine

“A crisp and accessible introduction to evolutionary psychology’s key

principles. By shining the light of Darwin’s big idea on human actions and

thought, the authors show how genetic and cultural evolution might work

together to predispose our central human traits, our moral inclinations, and

even our uniqueness.”

Professor David Myers, Hope College, Michigan
