I thoroughly enjoyed this book's conversational and storytelling style of writing- very easy to read with a lot of real-world and modern examples. Pelham acts more like an approachable mentor, writing on the subject deeply but without making topics feel sluggish to read through. My students are certain to appreciate this balance!

Evolutionary Psychology is a fantastic book. Pelham takes a personalized yet critical approach without sacrificing the science - it's like he teaches you a personal master class on the field! I highly recommend this textbook!

A lucid, detailed, and entertaining introduction to the deeper questions investigating why humans think and behave in the ways that they do (also known as evolutionary psychology); delightfully informative and readable for both novices and experts alike.

Dr. Damian R. Murray, Tulane University

This is a great introduction to the fascinating field of evolutionary psychology: well-written, original, and laced with humour, insights, and anecdotes. One of the best short introductions to the subject I've read.
