Book Reviews of Introducing Evolutionary Psychology, 2nd Edition

Book Review: Provocative introduction which inspires further study
Summary: 5 Stars

Having read Richard Dawkin's Selfish Gene, and being interested in psychology, I was naturally inclined towards this book. It is a good introduction to what is obviously a progressive subject and one that has provoked further questions in my own mind. The author gives a highly interesting account and the illustrations are, as ever, brilliantly illuminating. I would recomend reading this book not only for its content but also for the thoughts it inspires.... Why have we evolved a sophisticated (and comlicating!) consciousness when Dawkins et al regard us to be nothing more than basic gene machines solely concerned with the propagation of ourselves? Why have humans emerged as cognitively superior to animals when the latter manage to propagate effectively without 'our' higher intelligence? These questions (and many others) are not answered in this book but I hope you can begin to see the range of thought it inspires.
