Evolution and Contextual Behavioral Science

An Integrated Framework for Understanding, Predicting, and Influencing Human Behavior

Herausgeber: Wilson, David Sloan; Hayes, Steven C

Beschreibung

Contextual behavioral science seeks to understand the behavior of individuals and groups in the context of their environments. Meanwhile, evolutionary science examines the effects that environmental selection pressures and heritable variation have on all species. In Evolution and Contextual Behavioral Science, two renowned experts in these two fields argue why these schools of thought are intrinsically linked, as well as why their reintegration--or, reunification--is essential.
