Folk Physics for Apes | |||
| The Chimpanzee's Theory of How the World Works | Social Studies | |||
| Daniel J Povinelli | ||||
| Oxford University Press 2003 391 pages | ||||
| Paperback Illustrated 0198572190 | ||||
| Published Price £37.00 | Our Price £9.99 | |||
| It is generally supposed that because chimpanzees are so closely related to us, they must see and understand the world in a similar way, only without our superior intelligence. Challenging that supposition on both theoretical and empirical levels, Povinelli's study examines how apes perceive and understand concepts such as gravity, force, mass, shape and physical connection. It offers a rare glimpse into the mental life of another species, and their profoundly different 'folk physics'. Foreword by Nicholas Humphrey. | ||||
