Recenzii
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.
