Our environmental problems are largely due to human activities, especially over-consumption and overpopulation, and therefore, policies aimed at achieving ecological sustainability require better insights into human behavior. The goal of this Reader is to show how evolutionary analyses of human behavior (human ethology, behavioral ecology, sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary demography) offer important implications for understanding and addressing our ecological problems. In addition to the 18 papers the editors bring together, Penn and Mysterud also wrote two chapters to help bridge the artificial division between the biological and social sciences, and better integrate the evolutionary sciences of behavior with the environmental sciences.
