Death, hope, and sex : steps to an evolutionary ecology of mind and morality

by James S. Chisholm

Applying evolutionary, life history, and attachment theories, this work explores human nature through the development of alternative reproductive strategies. It examines how environmental risk and uncertainty influence behaviours such as teenage pregnancy and youth violence.

Following evolutionary theory to its logical conclusion, Death, Hope and Sex uses life history theory and attachment theory to construct a model of human nature in which critical features are understood in terms of the development of alternative reproductive strategies contingent on environmental risk and uncertainty.
