Rethinking Evolutionary Psychology

Autor A. Goldfinch
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mar 2015
Rethinking Evolutionary Psychology identifies, champions and vindicates a streamlined evolutionary psychology. It offers a new way of thinking that moves decisively away from theoretical and critical excess. Where standard accounts often obscure and distort, this book emphasizes and develops evolutionary psychology's heuristic credentials.
