Friends---they are generous and cooperative with each other in ways that appear to defy standard evolutionary expectations, frequently sacrificing for one another without concern for past behaviors or future consequences. In this fascinating multidisciplinary study, Daniel J. Hruschka synthesizes an array of cross-cultural, experimental, and ethnographic data to understand the broad meaning of friendship, how it develops, how it interfaces with kinship and romantic relationships, and how it differs from place to place.

"Hruschka's integrative approach provides a robust and accessible view of the complexities of making, having, and being friends." Agustin Fuentes, author of Evolution of Human Behavior

"Despite its importance to human happiness and well-being, friendship has long been a puzzle for evolutionary scholars. Daniel Hruschka's book is a long overdue remedy and provides a thorough examination of friendship across human societies, past and present." Lee Cronk, author of That Complex Whole: Culture and the Evolution of Human Behavior

"Remarkable for its scope, insightfulness, and clarity, Friendship uses evolutionary science to breathe new life into a topic that is vastly important and woefully misunderstood."
