Description
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.
