"Anthony Stevens and John Price have got together in Evolutionary Psychiatry to propose a "revolutionary" new way of understanding mental illness by means of Darwinian theoryThey argue persuasively that conditions like depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and schizophrenia are the result of environmental maladaptation of strategies embedded in the phylogenetic makeup of the human species.'"- British Medical Journal
"The authors modestly claim that their book is no more than a first effort to define the basic components of human behaviour and its disorders in terms of evolutionary biology … In my view, this attempt at a new paradigm is one of the most fruitful developments in psychiatry in recent years." - Anthony Storr, the Financial Times
'Warmly recommended.' - Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian
"The book serves as a thought-provoking introduction to a young and rapidly growing area of research. I suspect that the authors' claim that "psychiatry is entering the most exciting phase in its history" may prove correct." - Stuart Blackman, New Scientist
"This book will be of interest to psychiatrists working in many areas and should be available in medical libraries'"- British Journal of Psychiatry
