Zusammenfassung:"This important volume brings together an array of prominent developmental scientists whose work is explicitly driven by evolutionary concerns. Presenting sophisticated new models for understanding basic questions of nature and nurture, the authors demonstrate how evolutionary knowledge can enhance our understanding of key aspects of social, personality, and cognitive development." "Synthesizing disparate areas of research to provide innovative perspectives on both normal and maladaptive development, this authoritative book will build the knowledge base and fuel further investigation among researchers and students in developmental, social, and evolutionary psychology. It will serve as a uniquely informative text in graduate-level courses."--BOOK JACKET.
