Inhaltsangabe

The 'Machiavellian Intelligence Hypothesis' implies that monkeys, apes, and humans first developed intelligence to manipulate and outmanoeuvre others socially. This new volume extends and evaluates the ideas first explored in 1988 in an essential guide for all those interested in the behavioural sciences, primatology, and evolution.
