Editorial Review
“Cartwright’s book is worth a careful look if you are seeking a general and current overview of evolutionary theory applied to human behavior, or if you are trying to identify a resource on the evolution of human behavior for teaching purposes. … The book is of value to a non-evolutionary scholar or student seeking a manageable overview of evolutionary approaches to human behavior. … I have not found a better volume than Cartwright’s book for teaching purposes … .” (Peter B. Gray, Human Nature, Vol. 28, 2017)
