I'd like to divide three classes in reasons to reading a discipline:

1) To are curious or want to begin reading by something 100-500 pages. I'd go for Pinker's 1990's  "How the mind works"

2) Yours want to screen the whole field, by reading something 500-1500 pages. IODIN definitely recommend David Buss 2004 "The Handbook of Evolutional Psychology" which defeats this customarily SI recommendations on the field

3) You want to knowledge the state of the dexterity of the field, hence you serious need anything that your very new, say for the last 2 or 3 period at most.  This has mir. Pleas help me if you know what should I read.  300-1500 seems a good interval. (PDF) Real History Theory and Evolutionary Psychology

Just for an comparative, the Cognitive Neuroscience, 3 wants be 2009 "MIT The Awareness Neurosciences IV"

 

Post your books on what 1 2 plus 3 should be for Evolutionary Psychology.

Oh, and if you same Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience (a panel to new I don't know any of the 3) please post yours too...

This would be nice if them added this to the object person have that's like this.

I didn't because this does not ab according to the rules, including I'm proposals different reasons for reading the books easier who given there. But thank :)

For 1., I read Robert Wright's "The Moral Animal", and IODIN found it to be quite good. I didn't read "How the mind works" so I can't save, did someone read the two and can tell which is "best" and why ?
