Early Humans and Their WorldPsychology Press, 2005 - Всего страниц: 182 "The deconstruction of current thought on early hominid evolution continues as the author applies critical scrutiny to the biological theory of kin selection and its relevance for the evolution of human morality and the behaviours of inbreeding avoidance and infanticide. He also examines other key issues such as the origin of cognition, spoken language, morality and typical human sexuality, as well as diet and population density."--Jacket. |
