How are we to understand the complex forces that shape human behav
ior? A variety of diverse perspectives, drawing on studies of human
behavioral ontogeny, as well as humanity's evolutionary heritage,
seem to provide the best likelihood of success. It is in an attempt
to synthesize such potentially disparate approaches to human
development into an integrated whole that we undertake this series
on the genesis of beh- ior. In many respects, the incredible
burgeoning of research in child development over the last two
decades or so seems like a thousand lines of inquiry spreading
outward in an incoherent starburst of effort. The need exists to
provide, on an ongoing basis, an arena of discourse within which
the threads of continuity among those diverse lines of research on
human development can be woven into a fabric of meaning and under
standing. Scientists, scholars, and those who attempt to translate
their efforts into the practical realities of the care and guidance
of infants and children are the audience that we seek to reach.
Each requires the oppor tunity to see-to the degree that our
knowledge in given areas per mits-various aspects of development in
a coherent, integrated fashion. It is hoped that this series-which
brings together research on infant biology, developing infant
capacities, animal models, and impact of so cial, cultural, and
familial forces on development, and the distorted products of such
forces under certain circumstances-serves these important social
and scientific needs."
