How did the mind evolve? How does the human mind differ from the minds of our ancestors, and from the minds of our nearest relatives, the apes? What are the universal features of the human mind, are why are they designed the way they are? If our minds are built by selfish genes, why are we so cooperative? Can the differences between male and female psychology be explained in evolutionary terms? | Dylan Evans and Oscar Zarate INTRODUCING INTRODUCING Dylan Evans and Oscar Zarate Edited by Richard Appignanesi ICON BOOKS UK TOTEM BOOKS USA Published in the UK in 1999 by Icon Books Ltd.

These two sciences are like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. We need both pieces if we want to understand human behaviour. We will begin by looking at each of these sciences separately. Then we will see how evolutionary psychology puts them together to arrive at a complete scientific account of human nature.
