Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The resurgence of interest in biological explanations of human behaviour has stimulated family scholars to challenge many current cultural and environmental explanations. Biosocial Perspectives on the Family brings together the findings and views of some of the foremost researchers on the biological influences on family behaviour from many academic disciplines including sociology, psychology, and anthropology. The selection of chapters represents a continuum from the more proximal theories of biological input to the more distal, evolutionary explanations. The final three chapters serve as a critique of the other chapters.
