Divided Brains

Animal Contests

The Biology and Behaviour of Brain Asymmetries Lesley J. Rogers

Edited by Ian C. W. Hardy University of Nottingham

and Mark Briffa

University of New England, Australia

University of Plymouth

Giorgio Vallortigara

Why do animals fight? What determines when fights stop and which contestant wins? Addressing key questions on contest behaviour, this volume presents theoretical and empirical perspectives across a range of species, from sea anemones competing for space on a rocky shore to fallow deer stags contending for access to females.

University of Trento

and Richard J. Andrew University of Sussex

‘… a superb book which I shall use as an invaluable source for years to come.’

Professor Sir Patrick Bateson, University of Cambridge, and co-author of Plasticity, Robustness, Development and Evolution

‘Birds do it, bees do it – and so, it seems, do species of every taxa: they show cerebral and behavioral asymmetries that belie the seeming bilateral symmetry of the body, and even the brain itself. Until quite recently such asymmetries, especially in the form of right-handedness and left-brain dominance, were held to be uniquely human, and even to define our species. This anthropocentric view is here comprehensively buried.

The book is more than simply a compendium of asymmetries across different species. Rogers, Vallortigara and Andrew cover evolutionary, development and genetic aspects of asymmetry, asking why and how asymmetries evolved in a world that is indifferent to left and right. This is the most in-depth analysis to date, by the three foremost authorities on animal asymmetries, of a phenomenon that has fascinated scientists and philosophers through the centuries.’

Animal Behaviour

Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation Patrick Bateson King’s College, Cambridge

and Paul Martin Wolfson College, Cambridge

What role does playful behaviour take in animal and human development?

Unravelling the different meanings of ‘play’, this book focuses on playful and non-aggressive behaviour in both animals and humans. The authors emphasise its significance for development, before examining the importance of playfulness to creativity and, in turn, to innovation.

‘In this highly readable and thoughtprovoking book, Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin show how play helps animals to find novel solutions and sows the evolutionary seeds for human creativity. They argue that being able to ‘break the rules’ in a protected environment, which is what play does, generates new ideas (creativity) and new ways of doing things (innovation). By looking at the conditions in which humans are at their most creative, they make a major contribution to what we might do to be even more creative than we are.’

Marian Stamp Dawkins, University of Oxford, and co-author of An Introduction to Animal Behaviour

‘This groundbreaking work will inform, engage and please an extensive audience, from play scholars and naturalists to those seeking an improved basis for practical approaches to social questions. The book’s originality, common-sense foundation, clear and readable language, and pragmatism are all commendable. The authors, whose landmark studies of behavioral development now span more than a quarter century, take pains to present a readable and direct exposition of their ideas. At the same time, they succeed in drawing bold distinctions when necessary and in forthrightly addressing concerns that span a broad range of social issues. The authors informatively fine-tune previous concepts of play in their successful efforts to link play with the origins of the creative process across a broad biological spectrum. The book’s main themes are woven together to produce a work of great general interest.’

Evolutionary Anthropology Biosocial Becomings Integrating Social and Biological Anthropology Edited by Tim Ingold University of Aberdeen

and Gisli Palsson University of Iceland, Reykjavik

‘In this ambitious and highly original volume, Ingold and Palsson try to lead anthropology toward a fundamental rethinking of the static dichotomy of biology and culture. Challenging the assumptions of nineteenth-century biology, which are often still taken as axiomatic – that human skin is a boundary between the autonomous natural world of the organism and the exogenous cultural and ecological setting in which the human being is embedded – the contributors invite you to blur those categorical distinctions with modern data and theory.

Instead they present humans as ‘becomings’ – as parts of continually unfolding biosocial relationships with other humans, and other species. To a scientist who is trying to comprehend a bipedal, linguistic creature that nevertheless takes several years before it can even move and communicate properly, this makes a good deal of sense … an intellectually very rewarding work.’

The Politics of Species Reshaping our Relationships with Other Animals Edited by Raymond Corbey Universiteit van Tilburg, The Netherlands

and Annette Lanjouw Arcus Foundation

Experts from a range of disciplines identify key barriers to a definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. The chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues around the ethical, political and legal status of other species.

Advance praise: ‘Having done penance for their wrongs of racism, xenophobia, class hatred and sexism, Western societies need to engage in ethical reflexion about the merciless domination and exploitation they inflict on animals.

In a series of fascinating case studies, leading experts from a broad range of disciplines supply such a reflexion with a rich factual and conceptual basis, linking scientific data with normative and philosophical ideas in a plea for a renewed moral vision of relationships between humans and nonhuman beings.’

Evolutionary Biology The Correspondence of Charles Darwin

Understanding Evolution

Volume 20: 1872 Edited by Frederick Burkhardt American Council of Learned Societies

Concepts and Conceptual Obstacles Kostas Kampourakis

James Secord

Université de Genève

University of Cambridge

Many books focus on what evolution is; several others explain why creationism or intelligent design cannot be considered as alternatives to evolution.

However, what they all take for granted is that people properly understand evolution. From a psychological perspective, evolution is rather counterintuitive. We are brought up surrounded by artefacts. If we perceive the world as an artefact because we grow up surrounded by artefacts, we grow up with the idea of objects, their makers and users, rather than constantly evolving forms, and common ancestries.

Covering core concepts of evolution and the structure of evolutionary explanations, and explaining both what evolution is about and why so many people find it difficult to understand, this book presents evolution as something that is straightforward and intuitive.

and The Editors of the Darwin Correspondence Project University of Cambridge

This volume of the definitive edition of Charles Darwin’s letters will for the first time provide researchers and general readers with texts of more than 600 letters Darwin wrote and received in 1872, the year he published Expression of the Emotions, a highly popular book on human and animal expression.

Fungal Biology in the Origin and Emergence of Life David Moore University of Manchester

Casting aside common theories on life’s origins, this is a mycological perspective on the emergence of life on Earth.

‘In a wonderful introduction to this wide and exciting subject, and ensuring accessibility to non-specialist readers, key features of fungal biology are introduced, as is current thinking on the beginnings of the solar system, the formation of the Earth and its Moon, and the possible origins of the building blocks of life, including panspermia, the ET origin of life on earth. Central in this thought provoking book is a consideration of the definition of what is life, from the philosophical to the rigidly scientific.

This definition is key to deciding on what was LUCA, the last universal common ancestor. … A fascinating read, a myco-centric version of the origin of the eukaryotes, firmly dismissing the animal biased theories.’

J. L. Faull, Birkbeck, University of London

‘Mycologist David Moore details the evolutionary history of the fungi in his new book and its relationship to the origins and subsequent development of life on land. This rich and compelling story provides a crucial mycological perspective on some of the biggest questions in modern biology.’

Paleontology From Clone to Bone The Synergy of Morphological and Molecular Tools in Palaeobiology Edited by Robert J. Asher University of Cambridge

and Johannes Müller Museum für Naturkunde; Humboldt Universität zu Berlin

With contributions from leading researchers, this provides perspectives on how molecular biology can inform paleontology, directly and indirectly, to better understand life’s past.

Paleobiological questions such as genome size, digit homologies, genetic control cascades behind phenotype, estimates of vertebrate divergence dates, and rates of morphological evolution are addressed.

‘Fundamental questions in biology, such as the origin of form and the tree of life, were major concerns for the leading biologists of the nineteenth century, but those researchers lacked the research tools to test their ideas.

This book highlights the remarkable synergies between molecular biologists, developmental biologists, and palaeobiologists in providing new understanding. Asher and Müller have assembled an excellent set of chapters on these themes, and these provide incisive introductions to an important interdisciplinary field.’
