In many social science disciplines, the potential of Darwinian evolution theory has now been recognized, and this reception has often led to the emergence of new fields of research. For example, Evolutionary Psychology, Evolutionary Sociology, and Evolutionary Demography have established themselves as independent disciplines and can be summarized as Evolutionary Social Sciences. Selected concepts and application areas of the Evolutionary Social Sciences are addressed in this book. It invites readers on an interdisciplinary tour that spans disciplines such as psychology, sociology, family studies, behavioral genetics, demography, history, game theory, and archaeology.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part includes contributions that provide an accessible introduction to the research fields and central concepts of the Evolutionary Social Sciences. The second part contains contributions that address specific questions from an evolutionary perspective.

The target audience for the book includes social scientists and students who wish to engage with the evolutionary perspective in the social sciences.
