A quick scan of the spine titles and authors at your local bookstore science section shelves might lead you to overlook Curious Behavior, since it is a small book.

This extra attention is worth the effort. Provine’s focus in this book is on what he terms, “elemental human behaviors”. Well-steeped in the tradition of those such as Lorenz, he carries out contrasts between behaviors rather than specifically between phyla and this “small science” approach is refreshingly appropriate, effective and thought provoking.
