This comprehensive handbook on evolution and sexual psychology features an interdisciplinary team of leading researchers in the field.
Comprehensive and interdisciplinary, this handbook is written by leading researchers investigating evolutionary perspectives on sexual psychology and behavior. The four volumes provide a rich overview of the most important theoretical and empirical work in the field.The interface of sexual behavior and evolutionary psychology is a rapidly growing domain, rich in psychological theories and data as well as controversies and applications. With nearly eighty chapters by leading researchers from around the world, and combining theoretical and empirical perspectives, The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Sexual Psychology is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work in the field. Providing a broad yet in-depth overview of the various evolutionary principles that influence all types of sexual behaviors, the handbook takes an inclusive approach that draws on a number of disciplines and covers nonhuman and human psychology. It is an essential resource to both established researchers and students in psychology, biology, anthropology, medicine, and criminology, among other fields.
'This is a truly remarkable compendium of up-to-date theory and research on the wide range of topics studied by evolutionary biologists and psychologists, from foundational and mid-level evolutionary theories, to pre- and post-copulatory adaptations in males and females, and to sexual behavior in non-human primates and even Neanderthals.' David Bjorklund, Professor of Psychology, Florida Atlantic University, USA, and author of How Children Invented Humanity
'This Handbook on sexual psychology from an evolutionary perspective is a huge landmark in publishing. Its contributors are world-class scholars, and the editor is eminent in this field. It will be used by scholars, researchers, and readers interested in sexual psychology for many years to come.' David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating and Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind
