Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Five Stars - Great book Review: Beautifully argued - I wish more textbooks were like this. The only one that really comes to mind is Animal Social Behavior by Wittenberger. Like that one, this book impresses by the quality of the arguments. He never just comes up with 'this is the way it is, so learn it'. He often presents an hypothesis, then lists predictions that can be made from that hypothesis and suitable tests, and then evidence to support or disprove it. You learn something about the scientific method as well as the subject matter. I admit I dismissed evolutionary psychology for a long time, arguing that we are no longer subject to darwinian evolution, but are subject to rapid cultural evolution. However, this book shows exactly why I was wrong, and how much we can learn from the sort of interesting questions that an evolutionary perspective inspires. A nice antidote to the influence of behaviourism, which still seems to be present in sociology and feminist ideology. Just so long as we remember that not all behaviour is an adaptation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,845,853 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 865 in Evolutionary Psychology 4,066 in Child & Developmental Psychology in Education 12,497 in Biology (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (16) | | Dimensions | 18.24 x 2.26 x 23.62 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0205370713 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0205370719 | | Item weight | 907 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | 6 Aug. 2003 | | Publisher | Pearson | ## Images ![Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415niZyJmZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on 15 November 2016* Great book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully argued *by A***T on 20 December 2004* I wish more textbooks were like this.

I noticed many patterns in life that are hard not to notice -- such as the difference between men and women in how they approach sexual opportunities. Men will readily say yes, women firmly no. Why? Evolution is such an intriguing and elegant theory on its approach to our current behavior. Boss's contention is that the present behaviors we see today in our modern era -- fear of snakes, high male sexual drive -- arose from our ancestors. Those who did not have such characteristics did not become our ancestors. Thus, over time, certain characteristics were more likely to be successful in the mating process, and those are the same characteristics we see today. Boss's insight required a lot of keen intellectual insight into many different hypothesis. Some of these hypothesis seemed far-fetched at first. Who would think that there would be statistical differences in how maternal grandparents v. paternal grandparents relate to their grandchildren. There are, however. Maternal grandmothers have less risk in investing in a grandchild who is not biologically related since she is confident that her daughter is biologically hers, and she can be certain that her daughter's child is biologically related, too. The hypothesis that paternal grandfathers would be most distant -- since they have the most to lose -- turned out to be true. (Paternal grandfathers cannot be 100% certain that they fathered their son or daughter, and thus, they cannot be sure that that child's son or daughter is biologically related). This is perhaps one of the most important contributions in scientific literature since Watson and Clark's published report on their findings of DNA.
