Human genetics has changed little over the past 20,000 years, but human economic
behaviour has changed a lot. These changes are probably due to human cultural
evolution. But studies of human hunter-gatherers, and of a variety of other animal
species, show that their micro-economic behaviour is much the same. Whereas the
standard economic analysis focuses on money, the biological approach brings time
and energy into the analysis. Moreover, humans and other animals tested under
laboratory conditions do not exhibit the complexity of the results of field studies. In
other words, results obtained in the real world are not the same as those obtained in
the laboratory.
The Biological Bases of Economic Behaviour invites readers to approach micro-
economics from a biological viewpoint, in a clear and introductory manner.
David McFarland studied zoology (BSc Hons) and psychology (DPhil). He has
researched and published in the fields of animal behaviour, philosophy, physiology,
psychology and robotics. He retired in 2000, and is an Emeritus Fellow of Balliol
College, Oxford, UK. Since retiring, he has published seven books.
