At the crossroads of biology, psychology, and evolutionary theory, Growing Points in Ethology stands as a landmark collection that captures the discipline of animal behaviour science at a pivotal moment in its intellectual development. Edited by two of the field's most distinguished figures, P.P.G. Bateson and R.A. Hinde, this authoritative volume brings together essays from leading researchers to address the central questions animating ethology in the 1970s — from the mechanisms of learning and social organisation to the evolutionary basis of behaviour and the growing dialogue between ethology and psychology. The collection argues forcefully for a more integrated, rigorous approach to understanding animal and human behaviour, drawing connections between fieldwork, experimental method, and theoretical innovation. Bateson and Hinde's editorial vision gives the volume a coherent intellectual architecture, presenting ethology not as a settled science but as a dynamic, expanding enterprise. Written with academic precision yet accessible to any serious reader of the biological sciences, this volume remains an essential touchstone for understanding how the modern science of behaviour was shaped — and raises questions whose answers continue to unfold.
