Comparative Developmental Psychology - 1: Infants

This is the second of a small series I present on the comparative aspects of non-human primate psychology where I demonstrate the biologically conserved potential for and cultural propagation of culture, which I define as "a unique suite of behavioral characteristics, taught by experts as a model for shaping behaviors that directly affect adaptability, mutually constructed and shared by all participants within the group, and that distinguishes from others over time".

I LOVE this - I can't wait to watch the whole series. Thank you for posting. This would be impossible for a layman to find online or in a library (I tried already)!
