Summary

“Why do we do what we do?” In this thought-provoking series of lectures, Professor Allen D. MacNeill examines the surprising - and sometimes unsettling - answers to this most basic of human questions. The remarkable new field of evolutionary psychology takes a scientific approach to the evolution of human nature. Analyzing human behavior in relation to food, clothing, shelter, health care, and sex, Evolutionary Psychology proves an immensely stimulating exploration of human endeavor.

ok but . . .

More interesting facts to grip you from the start

What could Allen D. MacNeill have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Too long introducing everything. Bit like a bad dinner date

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of the narrator?

No idea

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

frustration

Any additional comments?

Could have been good. Too long winded. Some good bits but lost in the background noise

Very good introduction to evolutionary Psychology.

This first part doesn't cover much about psychology but is a great way good foundation for evolution and mainly physiological differences and a little about behavioural differences and similarities between humans and animals.
