Of several domains of knowledge, humans appear to be born with an innately structured representational system for making sense of objects, what properties individuate them, how they move in space, and what causes them to move from one location to another. They also appear to make simple conceptual cuts between artifactual kinds and living kinds. The basis for this distinction seems to be a comb...

Parenting patterns range widely among human and nonhuman primates. Rarely do single mothers parent without help. Many female-bonded species have female relatives (grandmothers and aunts) to help with infant care.

Across mammals in general and primates in particular, however, support for the various hypotheses has been more equivocal. Population-level sex ratio biases have often been interpreted as supportive, but evidence for small-scale fa...
