Description

Explore the cognitive abilities of primates with Folk Physics for Apes: The Chimpanzee's Theory of How the World Works. Published by Oxford University Press, this book examines whether chimpanzees possess an understanding of basic physical principles similar to young human children. While humans naturally grasp concepts like gravity, force, mass, and shape through play and object manipulation, researchers have long noted the tool-making abilities of chimpanzees. This work investigates the mental states of these primates to determine if they share an underlying grasp of the physical laws that govern our world. It provides a deep look into the biological sciences and the cognitive connections between humans and apes.

Key Features

Published by Oxford University Press to ensure high academic standards in biological sciences.

Investigates how chimpanzees use tools and whether this reflects an understanding of physical principles.

Compares the mental states of primates to the way young children learn about gravity and mass.

Explores fundamental concepts of physics including force, shape, and object manipulation in apes.
