Darwinism encourages precisely the opposite values. Short-term genetic benefit is all that matters in a Darwinian world.

Evolution and Human Behaviour explores the complexities of the human experience through the lens of Darwinism, drawing on a long and vibrant tradition of different theories and interpretations. This textbook offers a compelling synthesis of key concepts, addressing human thought, feeling and behaviour in fundamental evolutionary terms. The third edition of Evolution and Human Behaviour:Has been revised, updated and expanded throughout, with new chapters on health and disease, homosexuality, the nature of adaptations and life history theoryIncludes brand-new material on epigenetics, patterns of crime, error management theory, moral foundations theory, religion and gene culture co-evolutionIs accompanied by a companion website offering additional reading material and useful practice questionsWritten for students of psychology, human biology, ethology, anthropology and human behavioural ecology, this is an essential introduction for anyone who wishes to understand how human behaviour has evolved. As biological information is passed through genes, so cultural information is passed through what Richard Dawkins has termed memes\'. In this theoretical but readable study, Shennan explores the potential for a neo-Darwinian evolutionary approach to some of the major concerns and issues within archaeology in recent times. Drawing on the work of Richard Dawkins as a stimulus, Shennan reviews the concept of memes as applied to animal behaviour and critiques their role in relation to human populations. Arguing that archaeologists are currently struggling with a lost past, this study reinforces what should be the prime concern of archaeology - to search for valid knowledge and to seek to make sense of long-term patterning and material culture. Shennan puts forward a framework to this end and applies it to looking at how humans exploit resources, population histories, the transmission of cultural traditions, male-female relationships and social evolution, competition and warfare.
