The Adapted Mind Zusammenfassung

The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and the Generation of Culture Jerome H. Barkow (Professor of Social Anthropology, Professor of Social Anthropology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia)

From reviews of the hardback: "A fascinating book which deserves a wide audience." European Medical Journal "a very significant contribution to the field of evolutionary thinking on human psychology and culture." British Journal of Medical Psychology Researchers have long been aware that the species-typical architecture of the human mind is the product of our evolutionary history, but it has only been in the last three decades that advances in such fields as evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and paleoanthropology have been made which have highlighted these changes. This book introduces the newly crystallizing field of evolutionary psychology to a wider scientific audience and focuses on the evolved information-processing mechanisms that comprise the human mind.

... a massive tome that throws considerable light on a number of issues ... The Adapted Mind is a very significant contribution to the field of evolutionary thinking on human psychology and culture. It brings together many well-written and scholarly chapters that do much to articulate the salient issues and give state of the art overviews. * Paul Gilbert, British Journal of Medical Psychology, 66 *
one cannot afford to ignore it * Glenn D. Wilson, Person.individ. Diff. Vol. 15, No. 5, 1993 *
a collection of eighteen papers by twenty-five authors which sum up and illustrate much of the best of our knowledge in the field of evolutionary psychology * Christopher Badcock, London School of Economics, ESS Newsletter No. 36, October 1994 *
