要旨:
The aim of this essay is to elucidate the relevance of cross-species comparisons for the investigation of human behavior and its development. The
focus is on the comparison of human children and another group of primates, the non-human great apes, with special attention to their cognitive
skills. Integrating a comparative and developmental perspective, we argue, can provide additional answers to central and elusive questions about
human behavior in general and its development in particular: What are the heritable predispositions of the human mind? What cognitive traits are
uniquely human? In this sense, Developmental Science would benefit from results of Comparative Psychology.
