List of publications on evolution and human behavior

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

There are at least three major divisions in the evolutionary study of human behavior ^[1]: evolutionary psychology, human behavioral ecology and dual inheritance theory (also called "gene-culture coevolution"). Some authors suggest that sociobiology and memetics are further divisions of the field ^[2].
