This volume brings an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most exciting areas of current behavioral science research. It contains papers by distinguished researchers from Europe and the United States at the forefront of biology, primatology, archaeology, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology. Derived from a Royal Society/British Academy meeting, the papers' topics range from cultural and social behavior among non-human primates, through the interaction of cognitive development with social organization during the Upper Paleolithic, to behavior among modern humans. The volume as a whole reflects the important recent developments in such areas as behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology and the origin and function of language, and scholars and students in these areas will find this information invaluable.

The fourteen contributions testify to the increasing co-operation which is bringing together biologists, primatologists, archaeologists, psychologists, linguists and anthropologists who share a common interest in the study of social and cultural behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. The papers, derived from a Royal Society/British Academy meeting, range in topic from cultural and social behaviour among non-human primates, through the interaction of cognitive development with social organization during the Upper Palaeolithic, to behaviour (including linguistic behaviour) among modern humans. This volume reflects the important recent developments in such areas as behavioural ecology, evolutionary psychology and the origin and function of language.
W. G. Runciman, Fellow, Trinity College, Cambridge. John Maynard Smith, Emeritus Professor of Biology, University of Sussex. R.I.M. Dunbar, Professor of Psychology, University of Liverpool.
