Description XIV, 159 p. 67 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note To understand why we humans are as we are, it is necessary to look at the essential building blocks that??comprise our nature. The foundations of this structure??are??our evolutionary origins as primates and our social roots. Upon these rest features such as our??emotions, language and aesthetic preferences, with our??self-perceptions, self-deceptions and thirst for knowledge right at the top. The unifying force holding these blocks together is evolutionary theory. Evolution provides a deeper understanding of??human nature and, in particular,??of the??common roots of these different perspectives. To build a reliable and coherent model of man, leading authors from fields as diverse as primatology, anthropology, neurobiology and philosophy have joined forces to present essays?? each describing their own expert perspective. Together they provide a convincing and complete picture of our own human??nature ISBN,Price 9783642139680 Keyword(s) 1. Cognitive psychology 2. EBOOK 3. EBOOK - SPRINGER 4. EPISTEMOLOGY 5.
