The last decade has witnessed a dramatic change in our understanding of the way in which the mind operates and the reasons behind a myriad of human behaviours. The traditional idea that nurture trumps nature in explanations of human behaviour has been supplanted by evolutionary psychological explanations, which posit that human beings share evolved mental architectures that govern their behaviour. \u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Psychology\u003c/i\u003e brings together seminal work from key scholars in the field and explores the ways in which evolutionary psychological research can illuminate our understanding of human behaviours and nature.\u003cbr /\u003e \u003cbr /\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvolutionary Psychology provides a thorough introduction to evolutionary approaches to psychology, covering topics on:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplications of evolutionary theory to psychology\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe evolution of cognition and how it interacts with culture\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCooperation\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhysical attraction, mate choice and sexual selection\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLife history theory\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eParenting and families\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePersonality and individual differences\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial cognition and psychoses\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe future of evolutionary psychology\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten to support undergraduates and masters students studying Evolutionary Psychology and Biological Psychology, this book critically evaluates the extant literature while maintaining the need for evolutionary psychologies. \u003c/p\u003e
