While human history is usually studied from the perspective of a few hundred years, anthropologists consider deeper causes for the ways we act. In Roots of Human Behavior, anthropologist Barbara J. King uses her wealth of research experience to open a window of understanding into the legacy left by our primate past. As you look for the sources of our behavior in that of primates and our human ancestors, you explore a host of intriguing issues ranging from the development of human love and loyalty to the possible biological tendency towards aggression to what behaviors we inherit from our closest living relatives. Ultimately, you'll learn how the study of monkeys and apes can help provide a fuller picture of who we are.
