Evolutionary Psychology--A Beginner's Guide - Robin Dunbar, Louise Barrett, John Lycett (PDF)

"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. The many examples make clear why evolutionary psychology should underpin all areas of psychology rather than being treated as a separate area itself."
—Susan Blackmore, author of The Meme Machine

Starting with its origins in the work of Charles Darwin, the book covers all the key areas of evolutionary psychology, including the role played by genetics in our sexual behavior, parental decision-making, and how babies learn about and adapt to the world.
