Reseña del editor

Unique in bringing an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most exciting areas of current behavioural science research, these papers are by distinguished researchers from Europe and the United States at the forefront of their respective disciplines, whether biologists, primatologists, archaeologists, psychologists, linguists, or anthropologists.

Contraportada

The fourteen contributions testify to the increasing co-operation which is bringing together biologists, primatologists, archaeologists, psychologists, linguists and anthropologists who share a common interest in the study of social and cultural behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. The papers, derived from a Royal Society/British Academy meeting, range in topic from cultural and social behaviour among non-human primates, through the interaction of cognitive development with social organization during the Upper Palaeolithic, to behaviour (including linguistic behaviour) among modern humans. This volume reflects the important recent developments in such areas as behavioural ecology, evolutionary psychology and the origin and function of language.
