First sentence: Direct parallels between animals and humans are dangerous because of the differences in cognitive abilities; because of the importance of cultural factors in the human case; because the diversity of animal species and human cultures make it too easy to find superficial parallels; and because there are difficulties in finding the appropriate level of analysis at which to make comparisons (Hinde, 1987).
