Evolutionary perspectives on human development

the long version

"Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Development, Second Edition considers the role of evolutionary theory in the field of developmental psychology to examine important topics of individual human development. This unique book fills an important gap in the literature, applying evolutionary models to human development by focusing on central development issues. The book emphasizes the importance of both domain-general evolved psychological mechanisms and domain-specific processes. The text also integrates behavior-genetic research with evolutionary and developmental principles." "It is a supplementary textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in evolutionary and development psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
