Oscar Zarate Boeken
Oscar Zárate, een in Argentinië geboren kunstenaar, verfijnde zijn vaardigheden in architectuur en reclame voordat hij zich in Europa toelegde op illustratie. Hij is vooral bekend van zijn medewerking aan een graphic novel met teksten van Alan Moore, die ingaat op de beklemmende wisselwerking tussen een idealistische man en zijn jongere zelf. Zárate's werk vertaalt complexe menselijke ervaringen meesterlijk naar visueel boeiende verhalen, met een onderscheidende en inzichtelijke artistieke stem.

Notoriously difficult, quantum theory is nonetheless an amazing and inspiring intellectual adventure, explained here with patience, wit and clarity."

Jak se vyvíjela lidská mysl? Jak se člověk v této oblasti odlišuje od svých vývojových předchůdců? Je-li člověk založen na sobeckých genech, proč je tak kooperativní? Mohou být rozdíly mezi psychologií muže a ženy vysvětleny z evolučního pohledu? Tyto a další otázky jsou v centru zájmu vědeckého oboru, jež se nazývá evoluční psychologie. Kniha Evoluční psychologie je srozumitelným a zábavným úvodem do této nové discipliny. Předkládá klíčové poznatky evoluční biologie, kognitivní psychologie, ale i antropologie nebo archeologie, které evolučním psychologům pomáhají lépe pochopit, jaká je lidská přirozenost.
