Homicide (Foundations of Human Behavior)

Killing is above all a drastic way of resolving interpersonal conflicts of interest. To understand why people kill, we need a theory of the nature of individual self-interests that will explain where and why they conflict. In this bold and lively, fact-filled book, Martin Daly and Margo Wilson find such theory in the emerging paradigm of evolutionary psychology, and demonstrate its utility for understanding homicide.
