Produktbeschreibung

The editors conceived this book with the double purpose of introducing to a larger public a new approach to the study of animal abilities and of stimulating additional studies in the new research program described in this volume. The research program, which we call 'comparative developmental evolutionary psychology, ' is based on the application of frameworks from human developmental psychology and evolutionary biology to comparative studies of primate abilities.
