Evolutionary Psychology: An Introduction, 4th Edition, provides an accessible introduction to the discipline without assuming prior knowledge of evolution. The textbook guides readers toward critically applying evolutionary theory to psychological explanations while maintaining a balanced stance across different schools of thought.
Across fourteen chapters, the text explores how evolution may shape the human mind, connecting an evolutionary framework with cognitive, social, developmental, and biological psychologies. Topic coverage encompasses human mate choice, social behaviour, language, emotion, and culture.
Suited for undergraduate students and general readers, this edition incorporates balanced discussions of criticisms alongside revised boxed case studies and visual figures.
