Social cognition in non-primates
This article suggests that broad species comparisons including non-primate species provide the (only) key to several important issues for psychologists taking an evolutionary view/approach.

The article deals with the comparison of distantly related species that live in similar environments. Any simila…
Birdsong
We review the present knowledge of instrumental, developmental, and communicative parallels between birdsong and language. Birdsong and human language turn out to be convergently evolved ‘adaptive profiles’. Such convergencies are indispensable for our understanding of why and how these properties came into being at all. The German philosopher Immanuel Kant emphasized in 1803 tradition in birdsong in parallel with human culture. We specify the ro…
