Chapters include new findings and theoretical advances that have not been published or summarized elsewhere.
This volume brings together some of the leading scholars in the fields of comparative and evolutionary psychology - those with sometimes divergent viewpoints on popular, current topics.
Part of THE OXFORD LIBRARY OF PSYCHOLOGY series.
The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Evolutionary Psychology ambitiously brings together an eclectic and provocative body of work from some of the brightest minds in comparative psychology and evolutionary psychology, highlighting the strengths and insights of each field. Across chapters, readers will come to appreciate the new field of "comparative evolutionary psychology," which successfully combines laboratory and field approaches, drawing on diverse methodologies and theoretical viewpoints to elucidate the mysteries of animal behavior and cognition. This comprehensive volume includes coverage of:
- Unique specializations in a wide range of taxa from insects, cephalopods, reptiles, corvids, canines, cetaceans, and primates
- Communication, cooperation, social learning, memory and cognitition in different species
- Controversial theories about the evolution of sometimes surprising abilities in species, both phylogenetically close to and distant from humans.
Suitable for seasoned researchers and graduate students alike, this volume reflects a range of views on human and non-human behavior and cognition, and advances these topics in a wide range of species.
Zielgruppe
This volume is intended for undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in fields as diverse as comparative, evolutionary, cognitive, developmental and biological psychology, as well as biology, zoology, anthropology, and ecology.
