Comparative psychology has rejected both the Cartesian view of radical differences between human and nonhuman behavior and reductionistic positions which assume perfect generality of animal data. The challenge for comparative psychologists is the quest for general principles not divorced from consideration of unique, specialized adaptations. The comparative approach which was for a long time relegated to a secondary position is now reemerging as a relevant and creative perspective in psychology. Its program includes the investigation of basic psychological processes from a genuinely evolutionary point of view and the search for a biological understanding of human behavior.
