David Premack and Ann Premack: Original Intelligence. McGrawHill, 2003. Reviewed in science:
Written for a broad audience, Original Intelligence is certain to become a landmark in any journey aimed toward understanding the human mind from an evolutionary perspective. … Premacks' discussions in Original Intelligence highlight three key themes: behavioral and experimental approaches, chimpanzee cognition, and cognitive development in human infants. The contributions and themes both demonstrate David's position as an intellectual descendant of Skinner, Koehler, and Piaget. But his novel ideas--which, on the surface level, bear little resemblance to those of these predecessors--have carried him far beyond this trio.
