Biological Roots of Human Nature Forging Links Between Evolution and Behavior

A short, stimulating book on the relevance of biological evolution to the study of behaviour. Goldsmith argues that anyone studying the social behaviour of humans must take into consideration both proximate cause - the physiology, biochemistry, and social mechanisms of behaviour, and the ultimate cause - how the behaviour came to exist in evolutionary time. Many of the confusing and misunderstood elements of sociobiology are clearly explained for the general reader.Goldsmith, Timothy H. is the author of 'Biological Roots of Human Nature Forging Links Between Evolution and Behavior' with ISBN 9780195093933 and ISBN 0195093933.
