Description
Comparative Psychology: Evolution and Development of Brain and Behavior, Third Edition provides an in-depth examination of how behavior and neural systems have evolved across different species. Mauricio R. Papini synthesizes research from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and psychology to offer a cohesive understanding of behavioral adaptation and brain development.
This edition features updated coverage of modern neuroscientific findings, including advances in molecular genetics and brain imaging techniques. The text explores fundamental questions about instinct, learning, cognition, and social behavior across vertebrate and invertebrate species. Students and researchers will gain insights into the mechanisms underlying animal behavior, from simple reflexes to complex problem-solving and social hierarchies.
With clear explanations, comparative analysis, and integration of cutting-edge research, this textbook serves as an essential resource for understanding the biological bases of behavior and the evolutionary processes that shaped the diversity of animal cognition and conduct.
