James Baldwin and Psychology's Missing Part

 

Evolutionary Thought in Psychology: A Brief History
By Henry Plotkin. Oxford: Blackwell, 2004. viii + 169 pp. Cloth, $45.95; Paper, $17.95.

Ranging as it does from social psychology and its derivative areas at one end to neuroscience at the other, psychology surely is one of the broadest of all the sciences. Yet it is odd that one aspect of the real world has remained resolutely absent from the discipline's compass: evolution. Henry Plotkin's overview of psychology's coy flirtations with evolutionary ideas offers both an explanation for this curious fact and a plea to psychologists to take evolution more seriously.
