In all the recent Darwinolatry, this important book too has been strangely neglected. The response for its neglect is that Darwin’s relatively sympathetic, realistic attitude to other species went right out of fashion when the behavioruists insisted that their mechanaistic, depersonalized approach was the only scientific way to study mental life. Eventually ethologist such as Konard Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen resisted this by suggesting that we can actually learn more by using the power of social perception that evolution has given us -- as Darwin used them -- then by switching those powers off and pretending that the creatures around us are made of clockwork. Since their time, a flood of careful acounts by people, such as Jane Goodall, who have taken the trouble to observe the natural life of animals systematically, has shown how far the facts here diverge from the fantasies of the earlier tradition. . . . .
