Eytan Avital and Eva Jablonka contend that evolutionary explanations must take into account the well-established fact that in mammals and birds, the transfer of learnt information is both ubiquitous and indispensable. The introduction of the behavioural inheritance system into the Darwinian explanatory scheme enables the authors to offer new interpretations for common behaviours such as maternal behaviours, behavioural conflicts within families, adoption and helping. This approach offers a richer view of heredity and evolution, integrates developmental and evolutionary processes, suggests new lines for research, and provides a constructive alternative to both the selfish gene and meme views of the world. It will make stimulating reading for all those interested in evolutionary biology, sociobiology, behavioural ecology and psychology. 606 $aAnimal behavior 606 $aBehavior evolution 606 $aBehavior genetics 615 0$aAnimal behavior. 615 0$aBehavior evolution. 615 0$aBehavior genetics. 676 $a591.5 700 $aAvital$b Eytan$f1951-$01663949 701 $aJablonka$b Eva$01091730 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812485503321 996 $aAnimal traditions$94193681 997 $aUNINA
