Description

Evolutionary Psychology: A Clinical Introduction by Christopher Badcock explores the fundamental issues raised by the application of modern Darwinism to psychology. The book provides a critical approach, explaining basic concepts of evolution carefully before discussing their often controversial application to psychology.

Badcock delves into the complexities of evolutionary psychology, including the roles that conflicting genes play in building different parts of the brain and the consequences for debates over nature and nurture, IQ, brain lateralization, and consciousness. With a focus on the most exciting and rapidly growing area of modern science, this book is ideal for those seeking to grasp the basic issues of evolutionary psychology.

Based on the author's years of experience teaching evolution and psychology to social science students, Evolutionary Psychology offers a non-technical account of remarkable new findings and their implications for our understanding of human behaviour.
