title: Would humans without language be apes? creator: Vauclair, J subject: Comparative Psychology description: The bedrock of comparative psychology of cognition, especially where nonhuman primates are concerned, rests on Darwin's famous account according to which continuity would be the main trait leading from the animal to the human mind. This idea was popularized through the statement in which Darwin postulated only quantitative differences between humans and the other species, namely "the difference in mind between man and the higher animals, great as it is, certainly is one of degree and not of kind" (Darwin, 1871, p. 128)... publisher: Greenwich, CT: Ablex Publishing Corporation contributor: Toomela, A date: 2003 type: Book Chapter type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/3601/1/VauclairDevHuman03.pdf identifier: Vauclair, J (2003) Would humans without language be apes?
