This book explores afresh the long-standing interest, and emphasis
on, the 'special' capacities of primates. Some of the recent
discoveries of the higher cognitive abilities of other mammals and
also birds challenge the concept that primates are special and even
the view that the cognitive ability of apes is more advanced than
that of nonprimate mammals and birds. It is therefore timely to ask
whether primates are, in fact, special and to do so from a broad
range of perspectives. Divided into five sections this book deals
with topics about higher cognition and how it is manifested in
different species, and also considers aspects of brain structure
that might be associated with complex behavior.
