This volume examines a variety of aspects of animal behavior and
analyzes the underlying relationship between behavior and
evolution. Studying behavior draws upon the work of scientists from
a number of disciplines, all seeking to answer the question of why
an animal behaves in the way it does. The possible answers to this
question development, survival value, evolutionary history, and
cause-and-effectare explored in this easy-to-read introduction to
behavior and evolution.
This book, part of a series from The Open University in the United
Kingdom, is about animal behaviour. The behaviour of animals,
including humans, is very diverse and often very complex. Studying
behaviour draws on the work of scientists from several disciplines,
including ethologists, psychologists, physiologists and
biochemists. The question that most of them are interested in
answering is: why does an animal behave in the way it does? The
possible answers - development, survival value, evolutionary
history or cause-and-effect - are the themes that run through this
introduction to behaviour and evolution.
