Résumé

This work demonstrates how evolutionary perspectives can shed the same light on human thought and behaviour as they have shed on the behaviours of species from earthworms to chimpanzees.

The Functional Mind: Readings in Evolutionary Psychology Douglas Kenrick

The evolutionary perspective on psychology has the power to fundamentally change how you understand yourself, your fellow humans, and your relationship to the birds, the bees, and your pet dog. Getting a good grasp on this perspective is like turning on a light inside your head: It is both illuminating and exciting. And once people get it-that is, once they understand how to think in evolutionary terms-they never turn back.

This book introduces readers to a number of modern classics - research papers applying evolutionary concepts to the whole range of topics in psychology, including psychopathology, development, learning, cognition, motivation, personality and social psychology. The list of authors includes Steven Pinker, Leda Cosmides, Martin Seligman, Eleanor Rosch, Paul Ekman, David Buss, Martin Daly, Josef Shepher, and Franz deWaal.
