"Why do we do what we do?" In this thought-provoking series of lectures, Allen D. MacNeill examines the surprising - and sometimes unsettling - answers to this most basic of human questions. The remarkable new field of evolutionary psychology takes a scientific approach to the evolution of human nature. Analyzing human behavior in relation to food, clothing, shelter, health care, and sex, Evolutionary Psychology proves an immensely stimulating exploration of human endeavor.

Cool Stuff
I really think the lecturer presents quite complex concepts well. I have learnt such a lot, and will apply to the science of climate change.... that is, why do we pollute our planet?

Great insights to human propensities
I am an independent researcher in evolutionary theory who is a passionate advocate for the consilience of the natural and social sciences. These volumes (and the volume on evolutionary biology) are very accessible for those interested in modern evolutionary theory and are interested in getting past political/ideological smears of applied evolutionary theory, and towards understanding the breadth and depth of its application in helping us better understand our conscious and mortal predicament.
Evolutionary theory is a powerful tool and ideologues of all stripes will always want to bend it out of shape to fit their political ends. It's also not going to be going away. We see it under attack today in 2018 by clowns to the left and jokers to the right. This puts the onus is on true evolutionary scholars like MacNeill, Buss, Schmitt, etc to explain its possibilities and its limits to an interested lay public.
This is a great place to start.
