Human Nature by Betzig
Human Nature collects the first, "classic," papers to test Darwinian theories on Homo sapiens. It offers new critiques for those classics, written both by the authors themselves, and by biologists who pioneered field studies, comparative studies, and cognitive studies on other species. And it adds a new introduction, reviewing cutting-edge work on human anatomy, physiology, emotions, cognition, and interaction. This is the first text to use our only theory of life - Darwin's - to explain what we do and who we are.
Laura Betzig has edited a timely and stimulating volume that should interest those concerned with human ecology, evolution and behaviour.. Betzig's text provides a thoughtful review and a rich discourse on the (adaptive) nature of human beings, a field destined to contribute to mainstream life science. Clara B. Jones, Endeavour Vol.22 (1) 1998
