Reviews

"Recommended for all undergraduate libraries in the sciences and humanities." (Perspectives on Science & Christian Faith, 1 March 2013)"In the end, I think this is a valuable book mixing an analytic philosophical approach with some interesting biology. I personally found the book faltering only because it takes, perhaps unnecessarily, a very orthodox adaptationist stance. Evolutionary ethics should take the whole of evolutionary biology seriously into account, not only a biased version of it." - Metapsychology, 20 February 2012

"Balanced and comprehensive, it should be the definitive text for many years". - Star News Online Blogs, 22 December 2010
