The significance of human individuality is such that each human functions as a unique "e;molecular"e; unit of the mass of humanity.

In 1962 at the Burg Wartenstein Symposium on "e;Classification and Human Evolution,"e; Emile Zuckerkandl used the term "e;molecular anthropology"e; to characterize the study of primate phylogeny and human evolution through the genetic information contained in proteins and polynucleotides.

This volume is devoted principally to the theme of behavioral develop- ment.

One of the attractive features of the great classical ethologists was their readiness to ask different kinds of questions about behavior - and to do so without muddling the answers.
