Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to the emerging field of genetic psychology, which explores the development of behavior and consciousness, from the simplest life forms to the most complex organisms, including humans. The author argues that all behavior, including that of humans, is based on structures and responses that have been selected over time to help organisms survive in their environments. Thus, the book positions the development of behavior within the broader framework of evolutionary science. By examining the genetic and physiological underpinnings of behavior, this book deepens our understanding of the nature of consciousness and the development of intelligence, offering insights into the fundamental principles that shape the behavior of all living things.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The theory of evolution has completely revolutionized the biological sciences and is now making similar changes in psychology, the science dqalingwith the highest form of life, that of consciousness. All life phenomena, from those of plant growth to the most complex processes of consciousness, are in certain respects similar. Therefore, not until the facts and theories of all sciences concerned with life phenomena have been studied to determine their common and their differentiating characteristics, can we have a psychology that is a fitting apex of these sciences. In other words, all psychology must be founded on genetic principles and become genetic in character. It is with the purpose of helping to more clearly define and establish this point of view, which is being more and more taken by present-day students of life activities, that this book has been prepared. It is hoped that this tentative formulation of the truths supplied by various sciences may help to promote more harmony of effort on the part of workers in the several related fields.
