Human Ethology: Claims and Limits of a New Discipline presents a rigorous collection of contributions from a colloquium sponsored by the Werner-Reimers-Stiftung, bringing together leading scholars to interrogate the foundations, methods, and boundaries of ethology as applied to human beings. The volume assembles perspectives from biology, psychology, and the social sciences, charting the contested terrain between animal behaviour research and the complexities of human social life.\n\nEdited by M. von Cranach, K. Foppa, W. Lepenies, and D. Ploog, this landmark anthology illustrates the interdisciplinary tensions and intellectual ambitions that defined the emergence of human ethology as a serious academic discipline in the latter half of the twentieth century. The contributors argue, debate, and scrutinise the extent to which evolutionary and biological frameworks can illuminate human conduct without reducing it to mere instinct. Published jointly by Cambridge University Press and the Éditions de la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, this volume remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand where the science of behaviour meets its own profound limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203266715867,"sku":"2026200015886-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f280077a-c600-4600-b6af-fc8fa1a2cdaf.png?v=1788146980","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015886-secondhand-human-ethology-claims-and-limits-of-a-new-discipline","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
