Excellent Resource!

This is an excellent text for an introduction to the application of evolutionary ecology's theory and methods to human behavior as well as containing information for those acquainted with the subject. It covers theoretical foundations of evolutionary ecology, followed by a series of papers covering the evolutionary ecology of primates, human ecology (resources and survival issues), and human social relations (cooperation, conflict, collective action, etc.). Well written, clear, and concise! Information is presented in accesible language, unlike many academic texts.
