Coming of age in Olduvai and the Zaire rain forest
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (1):196-197 (1995)
Abstract
ProbablyHomo habilisis two species not one; similarly for Pan troglodytes. Although amenable to training, in naturePan paniscusmay be a “specialized insular dwarf.” Language is uniquely human, but symbolic behavior and intelligence are widespread among animals with little respect for phylogenetic closeness toHomo sapiens.Author's Profile
