Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, 1987, Volume 35: Comparative Perspectives in Modern Psychology

Nebraska Symposium

The study of animal behavior throws light on everything said to be natural : social and family relations, mating, communication, and learning. Comparative Perspectives in Modern Psychology illustrates that human behavior is best understood through a method of comparative psychology, based on evolutionary theory that views behavior as the result of the complex interplay of genetics and environment. Contents include: The Comparative Psychology of Monogamy by Donald A. Dewsbury; Coming to Terms with the Everyday Language of Comparative Psychology by Meredith J. West and Andrew P. King; The Darwinian Psychology of Discriminative Parental Solicitude by Martin Daly and Margo Wilson; A Comparative Approach to Vocal Communication by Charles T. Snowdon; A New Look at Ape Language: Comprehension of Vocal Speech and Syntax by Sue Savage-Rumbaugh; A Synthetic Approach to the Study of Animal Intelligence by Alan C. Kamil.
