"Written with both clarity and rigor, Thought in a Hostile
World is a richly informed and sophisticated account of the
evolution of complex cognition. Sterelny's arguments appeal, not so
much because they reinforce our preconceptions – on the
contrary, we are frequently challenged – but rather because
they are informed, well-reasoned, and leave us with plenty to think
about. Sterelny's book could aptly be renamed Clear Thought in a
Muddled World and evolutionary psychologists, in particular,
would benefit from reading it." Kevin N. Laland, University of
St. Andrews <!--end-->
"This book is a godsend for anyone wanting to understand the evolution of human cognition without buying into the wholesale modularism of recent evolutionary psychology. Densely, but elegantly, written and replete with fascinating empirical detail, this book represents a major advance in the philosophical understanding of human cognitive evolution." Fiona Cowie, California Institute of Technology
