Publisher Synopsis
"Platek, Keenan, and Shackelford are leaders of the new generation of social and evolutionary neuroscientists. They have assembled a valuable collection of papers which integrate this blossoming field. Their book should be on the desk of any serious student of cognition and the brain who wants a thorough review of the empirical literature seen through a Darwinian lens." --Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, University of Cambridge Read more...
