Title: Apes, monkeys, children, and the growth of mind
First published: 2004
Description: "What can the study of young monkeys and apes tell us about the minds of young humans? In this introduction to the study of primate minds, Juan Carlos Gomez identifies evolutionary resemblances - and differences - between human children and other primates. He argues that primate minds are best understood not as fixed collections of specialized cognitive capacities, but more dynamically, as a range of abilities that can surpass their original adaptations."--Jacket.
