Description
The latest volume in the Biosocial Society Series, this book addresses the concept of adaptation. It has long been a concept in evolutionary biology and has recently become a major `focus' through sociobiology in the studies of animal behaviour. Set in a specifically human context, the book presents the way the adaptation concept has been used and the kinds of evidence that have been sought to test and develop it in different fields.
