Evolution and Psychology 1st edition by Macdougall-Shackleton

Evolution and Psychology, 1st edition by Macdougall-Shackleton, examines how evolutionary theory can inform the study of mind, behavior, and social life. Published by Sage, this textbook introduces natural selection, adaptation, development, cognition, emotion, mating, cooperation, aggression, culture, and individual differences through a psychological lens. It encourages students to think critically about evidence, methodology, and competing explanations rather than treating evolutionary accounts as simple stories. Suitable for courses in evolutionary psychology and related areas, the book helps readers connect biological foundations with contemporary questions about human and animal behavior.
