Evolution in Mind: An introduction to Evolutionary Psychology - Softcover
Book 2 of 52: Allen Lane History
Synopsis
Evolutionary theory holds a vital key to understanding ourselves and is at the centre of modern biology. Yet, as Henry Plotkin shows in this brilliantly argued account, it has never been integrated into psychology, the very science that seeks to explain the processes of the mind. In proposing a more revolutionary approach to psychology Professor Plotkin vividly demonstrates how an evolutionary perspective brings us closer to understanding what it is to be human and how we came to be so. 'Plotkin's EVOLUTION IN MIND and Pinker's HOW THE MIND WORKS present what is probably the best statement you can find in print of a very important contemporary view of mental structure and process' - Jerry Fodor, London Review of Books

1st p/b ed. Paperback trade, very good condition, bottom corner tip front cover faintly creased, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 276 pp. Henry Plotkin, a British psychology professor, introduces evolutionary psychology. He brilliantly demonstrates how an evolutionary perspective brings us closer to understanding what it is to be human and how we evolved. The theory of evolution by Charles Darwin underpins this approach. The mind is a complex of modules, and each module has adapted and evolved over time. Each module is responsible for unique aspects of human behaviour, such as language, culture, sharing knowledge and beliefs. Seller Inventory # 21300
