内容説明
According to conventional wisdom, our unique human intellect results from evolutionary pressures for skilled tool use and for communication to enhance co-operation. This book explores a quite different idea: that the driving force was social expertise, allowing subtle manipulation of others within the social group. The need to outwit one's clever colleagues then produces an evolutionary spiralling of `Machiavellian intelligence'.
This book forms a complete and self-contained text on this topic, including the origins of the idea, a wealth of exciting applications in anthropology, psychology, and zoology, and a current evaluation of more traditional ideas -to what extent is Machiavellian intelligence complementary or alternative to them? With contributions by an international team of authors, the reader is brought to the frontiers of scientific work on the origin of human intellect.

内容説明
According to conventional wisdom, our unique human intellect results from evolutionary pressures for skilled tool use and for communication to enhance co-operation. This book explores the theory that the driving force behind the human intellect was social expertise, allowing subtle manipulation of others within the social group, who themselves are seen as posing the most challenging problems faced by our ancestors. The need to outwit clever colleagues then produces an evolutionary spiralling of "Machiavellian intelligence". The origin of the theory is expanded and there are applications in anthropology, psychology and zoology. Included also is an evaluation of more traditional ideas and to what extent Machiavellian intelligence is complementary or alternative to them.
