Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Biological Symposia by Jaques Cattell (see record 1943-00396-000). This book is especially significant and stimulative for students of psychogenesis. The book discusses an opportunity to study the interindividual as well as the intergroup and individual-group relationships from the lives of paramecia, birds, mice, chickens, primates and men. Further compares the foundations of conventionalized, if not symbolic, behavior in primitive social groups with the more highly complicated pressures and relationships that constitute modern society. The book present discussions of phylogeny and physiology, transmissive and social mechanisms, society and individual rank order, adaptive radiation, coordination of primitive groups with the development of kinship and the final modernization in terms of technicological, economic and biological categories. The breadth of treatment involves individuals, groups, populations and modern society. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
