Abstract

Why study animal behaviour? In what follows the author argues that this is—or should be—the foundation of a proper understanding and use of the social sciences. The argument is based on two books published recently—“Animal Behaviour” by Robert A. Hinde (McGraw-Hill, 84s.) and “Mechanisms of Animal Behaviour” by Peter Marler and William J. Hamilton (John Wiley, 113s.).
