In \u003ci\u003eOrigins of Intelligence, \u003c\/i\u003e Sue Parker and Michael McKinney offer such a framework and make a strong case for using human development theory (both Piagetian and neo-Piagetian) to study the evolution of intelligence across primate species. Their approach is comprehensive, covering a broad range of social, symbolic, physical, and logical domains, which fall under the all-encompassing and much-debated term \u003ci\u003eintelligence.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA widely held theory among developmental psychologists and social and biological anthropologists is that cognitive evolution in humans has occurred through juvenilization--the gradual accentuation and lengthening of childhood in the evolutionary process. In this work, however, Parker and McKinney argue instead that new stages were added at the end of cognitive development in our hominid ancestors, coining the term \u003ci\u003eadultification by terminal extension\u003c\/i\u003e to explain this process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing evidence from scores of studies on monkeys, great apes, and human children, this book provides unique insights into ontogenetic constraints that have interacted with selective forces to shape the evolution of cognitive development in our lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Taylor Parker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801866715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801866715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Sue Taylor Parker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926137667839,"sku":"9780801866715","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0e090483-8d65-498a-a6e3-e64763f06d76.jpg?v=1681081414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/origins-of-intelligence-sue-taylor-parker-9780801866715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
