3Animal BehaviourDivided BrainsThe Biology and Behaviour of Brain AsymmetriesLesley J. RogersUniversityofNewEngland,Australia

Giorgio VallortigaraUniversity of Trento

and Richard J. AndrewUniversityofSussex

‘… a superb book which I shall use as an invaluable source for years to come.’ProfessorSirPatrickBateson,Universityof Cambridge, and co-author of Plasticity, Robustness,DevelopmentandEvolution

‘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.’MichaelC.Corballis,UniversityofAuckland

4 Animal Behaviour

Play, Playfulness, Creativity and InnovationPatrick BatesonKing’sCollege,Cambridge

and Paul MartinWolfson College, Cambridge

What role does playful behaviour take in animal and human development? Unravelling the different meanings of ‘play’,thisbookfocusesonplayfuland 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 thought-provoking 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.’MarianStampDawkins,UniversityofOxford,and co-author of AnIntroductiontoAnimalBehaviour

‘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.’Robert M. Fagen, author of AnimalPlayBehavior

Evolutionary AnthropologyBiosocial BecomingsIntegrating Social and Biological AnthropologyEdited by Tim IngoldUniversityofAberdeen

and Gisli PalssonUniversityofIceland,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.’JonathanMarks,UniversityofNorthCarolina,Charlotte

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.’WiktorStoczkowski,L’ÉcoledesHautesÉtudesenSciencesSociales

Understanding EvolutionConcepts and Conceptual ObstaclesKostas KampourakisUniversité de Genève

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 counter-intuitive. We are brought up surrounded byartefacts.Ifweperceivetheworldas 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. 2014 228 x 152 mm 300pp 978-1-107-03491-4 Hardback c. £65.00 978-1-107-61020-0 Paperback c. £17.99 Publication March 2014www.cambridge.org/9781107034914

Fungal Biology in the Origin and Emergence of LifeDavid MooreUniversity of Manchester

Castingasidecommontheoriesonlife’sorigins, this is a mycological perspective ontheemergenceoflifeonEarth.

‘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,UniversityofLondon

‘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.’MichaelJ.Benton,UniversityofBristol
