About the work

Evolutionary Principles of Human Adolescence (ISBN 9780813333182) offers a rigorous exploration of how evolutionary forces shape the turbulent years of development from childhood to adulthood, providing a unifying framework for adolescent psychology, biology, and behavior.

Summary

The book synthesizes evolutionary theory with empirical research to explain why adolescence features such as risk-taking, peer influence, mood fluctuations, and identity formation emerge, and how these traits may have conferred adaptive advantages in ancestral environments. It examines hormonal dynamics, cognitive development, social mating strategies, and the role of culture, offering nuanced explanations that bridge biology and environment. Throughout, the text emphasizes how developmental strategies optimize reproductive success and survival within diverse ecological contexts.

About the author

Glenn Weisfeld, a prominent figure in evolutionary psychology and adolescent development, draws on decades of research to illuminate how humans, across generations, navigate the transitions of adolescence. His work integrates theoretical rigor with practical insights, drawing on cross-cultural data and longitudinal studies to ground complex concepts in observable patterns. Weisfeld’s scholarship is characterized by a holistic view that connects biological imperatives with social and environmental influences to explain adolescent behavior.

In brief

The book distills how evolutionary processes shape adolescent development, offering a coherent, evidence-based account of why youths behave as they do and what this reveals about human nature.
