Opis

What a pity it would have been if biologists had refused to accept Darwin's theory of natural selection. This theory has been essential in helping biologists understand a wide range of phenomena, including the resplendent display of the peacock, the melodious song of the meadowlark, the bloody competitions of elephant seals, and the co-operative architectural skills of termites who build air-conditioned mounds standing 15 feet above the ground.

"...presents an impressive series of case studies for why the rest of psychology should follow suit."
