Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:This book uses evolution as the unifying theme to trace the connections between levels of biological complexity from genes through nervous systems, animal societies, and human cultures. It examines the history of evolutionary theory from Darwin to the present, including: the impact of molecular biology and the emergence of evolutionary social theory. Book News Annotation:Biologists Goldsmith (Yale U.) and Zimmerman (Amherst College)
provide a textbook for a one-semester course for students not
majoring in biology. Their goal is to help liberal arts and social
science students understand biological concepts that will inform
their understanding of human behavioral evolution. They assume
students took biology in high school, but might have slept through a
good part of it.
