Klappentext zu „Beyond the Brain “
When a chimpanzee stockpiles rocks as weapons or when a frog sends out mating calls, we might easily assume these animals know their own motivations. But as Beyond the Brain indicates, this is a dangerous assumption, because animals have different evolutionary trajectories, ecological niches, and physical attributes. How do these differences influence animal thinking and behavior? Removing our human-centered spectacles, Louise Barrett investigates the mind and brain and offers an alternative approach for understanding animal and human cognition. Beyond the Brain illustrates how the body, brain, and cognition are tied to the wider world.
