Why is the mind designed the way it is? How does input from the environment interact with the mind to produce behavior? By taking aim at such questions, the science of evolutionary psychology has emerged as a vibrant new discipline producing groundbreaking insights. In The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology, leading contributors discuss the foundations of the field as well as recent discoveries currently shaping this burgeoning area of psychology.
Guided by an editorial board made up of such luminaries as Leda Cosmides, John Tooby, Don Symons, Steve Pinker, Martin Daly, Margo Wilson, and Helena Cronin, the text's chapters delve into a comprehensive range of topics, covering the full range of the discipline:
- Foundations of evolutionary psychology
- Survival
- Mating
- Parenting and kinship
- Group living
- Interfaces with traditional disciplines of evolutionary psychology
- And interfaces across disciplines.

This 1,000 page Handbook breaks down the emerging scientific field of evolutionary psychology into seven major parts:
I. Foundations of Evolutionary Psychology - 5 chapters
(conceptual foundations, life history theory, domain specificity, methods, controversies)
II. Survival- 3 chapters
(locating places, adaptations of predators and prey, adaptations to dangers from humans)
III. Mating - 6 chapters
(mating strategies, physical attractiveness, ovulation, female infidelity, sexual coercion, mate retention)
IV. Parenting and Kinship - 5 chapters
(cooperation and conflict, paternal investment, parent-offspring conflict, altruism, hormones)
V. Group Living - 7 chapters
(neurocognitive adaptations for social exchange, aggression, managing relationships, status hierarchies, language, cognitive bias, morality)
VI. Evolutionizing Traditional Disciplines of Psychology - 6 chapters
(cognitive, social, developmental, personality, biological, and mental health)
VII. Application of EP to Other Disciplines - 2 chapters
(literature, law).
These thirty-four chapters are written by recognized scholars in evolutionary psychology. The Forward, written by Steven Pinker, is both an eloquent description of traditional psychology's "laundry list of unrelated phenomena" and a compelling case that evolutionary psychology will ultimately prove to be the missing link (pun intended) for integrating all of psychology.
As a Handbook, this book is of course not intended to be a first-to-last page read but as a current (as of 2005) description of what is known (and yet-to-be known) in the above sub-disciplines of EP. It meets this goal admirably.
