Description
Primate Cognition Volume 1: Social Cognition is a comprehensive survey of the latest research in primate social cognition. First published in 1997, this groundbreaking work set the agenda for a new field of study by reviewing empirical research on both physical and social cognition. Since then, research has burgeoned, and this second edition brings together the most recent findings, covering areas such as prosocial behaviour, social dilemmas, and metacognition. The book is divided into two volumes: this one focuses on primate social cognition, while a forthcoming volume will cover primate physical cognition. The authors provide an up-to-date overview of the field, including theories of primate social cognition and their place within the broader evolutionary picture. With its wide-ranging coverage, Primate Cognition Volume 1 is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding primate behaviour and cognition. This second edition offers a valuable update on existing areas of research, while also exploring new topics that have emerged since the first edition was published.
