Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates how the human mind has evolved from its animal origins. It begins by establishing that there is a case for continuity between the minds of animals and the distinctive intelligence of humans. The author suggests that the key to this transition lies in the human capacity for forming abstract ideas, otherwise known as conceptual thought. From this starting point, the book outlines the evolutionary progression of intellect, emotions, and volition, as well as the development of distinctively human moral and religious sentiments. Given that the theory of evolution was still a relatively new idea when the author first published his findings, this book is notable for the clarity and precision with which it sets out the case for the continuity between human and animal minds. It remains a landmark work in the history of evolutionary psychology.
