Thinking Ape Evolutionary Origins of Intelligence

This text describes how human ancestors reached the point in cognitive evolution from which the evolution of modern humans was possible. Rather than speculating about the mental abilities of fossil hominids, on the basis of modern human psychology, the author explores earlier phases of evolution, with the more solid and testable evidence of human ancestry that is still alive: modern primates and other animals.Byrne, Richard is the author of 'Thinking Ape Evolutionary Origins of Intelligence', published 0011 under ISBN 9780198522652 and ISBN 0198522657.
