"The authors provide theoretical paradigms to explain various forms of violence in an easy-to-read book that will appeal to a wide audience." -- DOODY'S

"In The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Violence, Homicide, and War, editors Todd Shackelford and Viviana Weekes-Shackelford have delivered an extremely strong volume, rich in content and ripe for these times--one is duly impressed by the magnitude of this accomplishment. The editors have recruited many of the leading lights of the field to prepare definitive reviews in their areas of special interest. This is a book that will be read profitably and with pleasure by several large cohorts of scholars and enthusiasts. It is not written just for those who are drawn to evolutionary psychology. Students and authorities in psychology, anthropology, criminology, political science, and peace and conflict studies will find a veritable cornucopia of empirical information." --PsycCRITIQUES

"In sum, The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Violence, Homicide, and War represents a top-rate book that should grace the bookshelf of any academician interested in the evolutionary underpinnings to violence. Without a doubt, the chapters will incite debate, foster future research, and perhaps most importantly will inspire future students to pursue evolutionary perspectives in their own areas of interest." -- Evolutionary Psychology

"...We get a huge and comprehensive survey across the whole field of violence: between relatives, between fellow group members and, in times of conflict and war, between different societies or cultures. There is material from every perspective, from those who are totally sold on the approach to those who are still very wary about whether evolutionary studies can really pay dividends. One of the things I liked actually was the modesty of many of the contributors, confident that they had things of real value to say and report, but very much aware that the real tasks lie ahead not behind.There is material here for much discussion and the pity would be if people thought the book is of value only to a narrow group working on specific issues to do with violence. Particularly striking is the extent that so much material bears on male-female differences." -- Michael Ruse, Philosophy, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida,
