This book provides a unique combination of areas normally covered independently to satisfy the requirements of comparative psychology courses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePapini ensures thorough coverage of topics like the fundamentals of neural function, the cognitive and associative capacities of animals, the development of the central nervous system and behavior, and the fossil record of animals including human ancestors. This text includes many examples drawn from the study of human behavior, highlighting general and basic principles that apply broadly to the animal kingdom. New topics introduced in this edition include genetics, epigenetics, neurobiological, and cognitive advances made in recent years into this evolutionary-developmental framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential textbook for upper level und\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
