Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test: How Behavior Evolves and Why It Matters

byMarlene Zuk

For centuries, people have been returning to the same tired nature-versus-nurture debate, trying to determine what we learn and what we inherit. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test within nature and science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
