I personallyfound the book faltering only because it takes, perhapsunnecessarily, a very orthodox adaptationist stance. Evolutionaryethics should take the whole of evolutionary biology seriously intoaccount, not only a biased version of it.“ (Metapsychology, 20February 2012)
„Balanced and comprehensive, it should be the definitive textfor many years“. (Star News Online Blogs, 22 December 2010)"In recent years evolutionary ethics has burgeoned in fascinatingbut sometimes confusing ways. James' judicious treatment of thefield is well written, well organized, and well balanced. There isno better introductory text covering this ground.„
--Richard Joyce, University of Sydney
“This is a terrific introduction to a topic of growing interest. Balanced and comprehensive, it should be the definitive text formany years."
--Michael Ruse, The Florida State University
