Evolutionäre Psychologie

Does the Neanderthal still live within us? The gradual emergence of mind and psyche: How has our brain developed? How does it differ from that of our closest relatives, the apes? Is there a hunter gene in men and a gatherer gene in women? Is spatial orientation innate to men while nesting orientation is to women? Why is there social behavior at all and not just selfish violence? How have we become what we are today over countless millennia? Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, sociobiology, and cognitive psychology, as well as information from anthropology, archaeology, and primate research, evolutionary psychology embarks on a comprehensive scientific description of humanity. This volume from the Infocomics series is a perfect introduction to this fascinating field of research.
