Arguing that the main contribution of comparative psychology to the wider field of psychology is to provide a "firm grasp of evolutionary thinking from within psychology," Papini (Texas Christian U.) presents an overview of the emerging field that heavily focuses on the evolutionary roots of behavioral similarities and differences across species. Merging concerns of experimental psychology and evolutionary biology, he offers an overview of the experimental methods and field methods used in comparative psychology, and discusses conclusions reached by researchers. Chapters offer discussions of genes and behavior, predators and prey, reproductive and social behavior, patterns of brain and nervous system evolution, the evolutionary pressures on development and learning, and comparative learning processes.
