Abstract

Scholars working to understand the intricacies of family interaction have multiple theoretic paradigms to choose from, as the present volume attests. One perspective not widely used in family communication research is that associated with evolution and natural selection. This is an unfortunate omission because the evolutionary perspective is rich in potential for the breadth of family interactions it can explain and the depth and parsimony of its explanation.
