A Great Anthropology Book and a Ho-Hum Psychology/Political Science Book

The first part of this book is a fascinating examination of how selection for "friendly" traits drove human (and dog) evolution, combining anthropological and experimental evidence. The book then ventures into psychology and political science, mostly covering standard intro textbook material with very little connection to the earlier part of the book. IMO stick to the first half
