Origins of mind
The Origin of mind research group aims to understand how evolutionary history and the process of development influence behaviour and cognition in a broad range of animal species, including hummmingbirds, quail, elephants, pigs, non-human primates and human beings. The researchers make use of the ‘Living Links to Human Evolution’ centre (Edinburgh zoo), African field sites (e.g., Budongo Conservation Field Station), and human experimental laboratories.
