Adaptation and Human Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective Evolutionary Foundations of Human Behavior Series
The volume will be of interest to anthropologists and other professions working on the study of cross-cultural human behavior. The sixth and final section consists of a single chapter that places the volume in a broader critical and comparative context. The third section covers parenting, with five studies on soci-eties from Africa, Asia, and North America.
This volume presents state-of-the-art empirical studies working in a paradigm that has become known as human behavioral ecology. The second section includes five studies of mating efforts in a variety of societies from South America and Africa. The fourth section breaks somewhat with the tradition in human behavioral ecology by focusing on one particularly problematic issue, North America, using data from Europe, the demographic transition, and Asia.
During the two decades that have passed since then, this innovative approach has matured and expanded into new areas that are explored here. The fifth section includes studies of cooperation and helping behaviors, using data from societies in Micronesia and South America. The book opens with an introductory chapter by Chagnon and Irons tracing the origins of human behavioral ecology and its subsequent development.
