| Abstract: | "The present volume is largely devoted to subjects with which the writer's own investigations in animal behavior have been more or less closely concerned. For the interest of the general reader the special contributions of the writer have been made subordinate to the broader aspects of these subjects. Although there is little relationship between the various topics dealt with, the different chapters are not devoid of a certain unity of aim. The several types of behavior here described were studied in the endeavor to get a fuller insight into their mechanism, or to interpret them from the genetic point of view. These two methods of attack are not opposed or mutually exclusive, as is sometimes implied, but complementary. We cannot obtain a complete explanation of behavior by an analysis of the activities of the individual alone; it is necessary to know also the evolutionary history of the species, and the various steps by which its present behavior has been acquired"--Pref.
