Excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed this lecture. This book has added so much more to my understanding of Evolutionary Psychology!

I enjoyed this.

This aligns extremely well with my own thinking in Metaphysical Science. My courses did not teach what is presented here. I had to figure that out on my own. I am surprised this new approach to psychology has done so well and is so close to my own understanding of what we are and how we work. The evolutionary aspect is just a plus to me and was quite fun.

There is a lot more that can be covered that is not presented here.

I did not like Part I so much. Perhaps I will give it second chance after really enjoying Evolutionary Psychology Part II.

A very good course on what likely makes us - what we are.

it's Evolutionary psychology

Other than stating the obvious,evolutionary psychology is pointless and irrelevant to humanity and history it self.Great book.

A great introduction to Evolutionary Paych

A novice in the topic I found the material and presentation interesting and insightful. Putting up with the occasional acting voice of the presentor allows one not to be distracted from the overall authority of the topic. Highly recommended!

Worthwhile, but Like 'Angels and Demons'

Solid stuff well delivered (except for the sad attempts at accents). But... listener beware: the crisp narration often begins a topic with hard science them moves to squishy 'indications' and then onto flights of conjecture that confuse correlation with causation and prescribe campus-fad remedies that frequently conflict with earlier hard-science points made. All this in the same, authoritative, faux-reasonable tone. One must listen carefully to separate the good stuff from the faddish blather. That said, if you can be self-disciplined, this course is worth its cost.

Dialectical Materialism at its best...

...or worst, depending on your point of view.
I found the book interesting from an intellectual point of view but dehumanising from a human perspective.
