The introduction provides a clear overview of the issues and synthesizes the major analytical approaches to them.

Not only are the theoretical issues more sharply defined and integrated with existing issues from other domains ("modularity" being one such example), but the experimental techniques employed are much more sophisticated, thanks to the work of numerous psychologists...
