Beschreibung
Humans are not like other mammals. In fact, this book argues, across the animal kingdom we demonstrate unusual behaviour, rarely found except in one other group: birds. Exploring the pressures that influenced our evolution alongside that of birds can lead us to a greater understanding of both avian intelligence, and our own psychology.
