看完导言就已经觉得心潮澎湃。最早接触进化心理学是在2011年，当时读了这个领域的旗帜人物巴斯的《进化心理学：心里的新科学》，就在很多地方寻找相关的论文和专著。但2011年能够找到的此类东西确实不多。看到导言里介绍，竟然心理学大会上已经有专门的进化心理学工作坊了，并看到《心理学报》也曾经出版过进化心理学的专刊！异常激动！这是一个非常具有价值的领域！到现在也仅仅只是30多年的时间！ 阅读这本书的读者，应当考虑至少先了解一下进化心理学的基本概念和知识。比如，可以读读巴斯的《进化心理学：心里的新科学》。此外，如果希望有深入的了解，还是推荐要对进化生物学等相关领域的知识至少有所了解。此外，由于本书的中英文的双语混编，对于进化心理学家的介绍是中文的，但他们在书中和读者的对话，都是英文的，所以，也需要有一定英文基础的人来进行阅读。 但我觉得这非常好！诚如导言里提到的Miller提出的一个受到争议的话题那样，也许，现在限制中国的进化心理学发展的一个因素，就是中国人的英语阅读和使用能力的限制。所以，这方面也是亟待突破的！
除了每章的开头略有中文介绍外，全为英文，
但读起来并不难懂，而且该书是很新的书籍，
心理学专业 研究生或有意读研者，可以看看
很好很专业的一本书，全英文的，读起来比较费力
书没有损坏。印刷的也很好
很好的书，中文介绍和英文论文结合，值得一看，
应该不错吧，还没开始看，每章开始只有一个简短的中文介绍，剩下就都是英文的了。
对英文程度有要求……
除了每篇文字的作者中文简介外，其它基本是英文文献，为什么不注明。不是讲内容不好，而且自己没有能力像读中文那样读英文，不想买英文的。
