ReviewsHenry Plotkin's Evolution in Mind is the sensible face of evolutionary psychology. While sanguine about the promise of evolutionary psychology, he avoids much of the eulogizing tone that characterizes other introductory tests. His account is strong on the history of psychology, on tracing the emergence of evolutionary psychology, and his examples of the current work of evolutionary psychologists is largely limited to ones that have a strong and prolonged set of results to support them.
