Animal Friendships
ISBN: 9780521183154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Research into social behaviour in animals has often focused on aggression, yet members of social species are far more likely to interact with each other in a positive way. Animal Friendships explores non-sexual bonding behaviours in a range of mammalian and avian species. Through analysis of factors which trigger and deepen friendships, Dagg uncovers a world of intricate and complex social interactions. These factors include sources of food, formation of coalitions, playdates for infants, mutual grooming and the apparent pleasure of simple companionship. Chapters cover different types of...

Human Evolution and Male Aggression: Debunking the Myth of Man and Ape
ISBN: 9781604978216 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Popular and scientific literature is still permeated with male aggression as a product of long evolution. The fact that violent aggression appears in the archeological records less than half as long ago as artistic expression should give pause to any student of human behavior. Humans are nothing like apes--chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, or orangutans which developed their mating systems independently from humans, and from each other. Chimpanzees have a promiscuous mating system, bonobos are completely hedonistic, gorillas have a harem system, and orangutans are essentially solitary. In those...

Love Of Shopping Is Not A Gene
ISBN: 9781551642574 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At the beginning of the 21st century, genes are used to explain almost every aspect of human life, from social inequalities to health, sexuality and criminality. Although few people have studied genetics, our culture is full of casual references to them. The Darwinian, if asked to comment on our evident 'love of shopping, ' would declare it to be in our genes. As former hunters and gatherers, they would say, there is no qualitative difference between gathering fruits and shopping for food, clothes, housewares or knickknacks. One can read not only about the shopping gene, but also about the...
