Gaining Control: How Human Behavior Evolved
Oxford University Press (2015)
Abstract
'Gaining control' tells the story of how human behavioral capacities evolved from those of other animal species. Exploring what is known about the psychological capacities of other groups of animals, the authors reconstruct a fascinating history of our own mental evolution. The result is a provocative and insightful book.Other Versions
