P.S. As far as I know neither Lorenz, nor Tinbergen ever abandoned the concept of "instinct". Many disciples of European Ethology by now accept that all ...
I studied anuimal behavior in graduate school with a student of Lehrman's (who had been, as I recall, a student of Schneirla's), and that was his take. It was...

I can't figure out what you mean when you state that: It was not either-or to Lehrman. Part of a "fused" process. On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 9:21 AM, Steven...
The still ongoing DL controversy was of course launched in *Science* of 1967, by Adrian M. Wenner, and his team, who were soon turned into pariahs for daring...
