The volumes in this set take a comparative approach to human and animal psychology and give a valuable insight into thinking about similarities and differences between humans and animals prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s.

The volumes in this set take a comparative approach to human and animal psychology. Although a range of animal societies are examined, the main focus is on the world of primates with key themes including various types of instinct, communication, reproduction, courtship, play, altruism, use of implements and handling form. Discussion of subjects such as comparative physiology, human sociology from a biological standpoint and 'marriage, family and society in man and animals' give a valuable insight into thinking about similarities and differences between humans and animals prevalent in the 1920s and 30s, when these volumes were first published.
