Up until now, there has been no explanation of how the outer layers
of human behavior helped drive the evolution of ancient reptiles
into modern-day humans. How did behavioral phenomena such as play,
learning by copying, language, REM sleep, and storytelling
influence the development of humanity as a whole?
The development of play was particularly important in the
evolutionary process, as it provided the bridge between the
instinctive brains of reptiles to the powerful brains of birds and
mammals. Play, however, is just one factor that can help explain
evolution and the development of human behavior.
In this book, you'll consider a gamut of issues, including
Evolutionary stages The paradox of animals that feed on animals The
importance and repercussions of copy-learning Primitive games The
emergence of sleep The scientific community needs to think in new
ways to accurately look at human evolutionary history. Take that
leap, and consider new explanations of old behavior as you read The
Evolutionary Origin of Human Behavior: How Play and Evolution
