It's time to leave behind the tired nature-versus-nurture debate.
In Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test , Marlene Zuk asks a
more fascinating question: How does behaviour evolve, and how is
that process similar-and different-in people and animals? Drawing
from a wealth of research, including her own on insects, she
explores how genes and the environment work together to produce
cockatoos that dance to rock music and ants that heal their injured
companions. She follows the different paths cats and dogs took to
living with humans and asks whether bees are domestic animals. In
exploring intelligence, mating behaviour and fighting disease, Zuk
turns to smart spiders, silent crickets and crafty crows. She shows
how neither our behaviour nor that of other animals is dictated
solely by genes, and that animal behaviour can be remarkably
similar to human behaviour-and wonderfully complicated in its own
right.
