The eureka moment is a myth. It is an altogether naïve and fanciful account of human progress. Innovations emerge from a much less mysterious combination of historical, circumstantial, and accidental influences. This book explores the origin and evolution of several important behavioral innovations including the high five, the Heimlich maneuver, the butterfly stroke, the moonwalk, and the Iowa caucus. Such creations' striking suitability to the situation and the moment appear ingeniously designed with foresight. However, more often than not, they actually arise 'as if by design.' Based on investigations into the histories of a wide range of innovations, Edward A. Wasserman reveals the nature of behavioral creativity. What surfaces is a fascinating web of causation involving three main factors: context, consequence, and coincidence. Focusing on the process rather than the product of innovation elevates behavior to the very center of the creative human endeavor.

Les singes s'épouillent, les araignées tissent, les lionnes chassent, les oiseaux chantent et les castors bâtissent. Les activités des animaux ont toujours beaucoup intéressé les biologistes et les psychologues. Mais l'étude des interactions de l'animal avec son milieu ne peut pas s'arrêter là : il faut aussi prendre en compte la perception que cet animal se fait des situations rencontrées ainsi que les émotions qu'il éprouve à leur sujet. Force est de constater que l'étude des comportements a souvent été privilégiée, au détriment d'aspects fonctionnels, qui sont, certes, plus difficiles à objectiver. L'étude de ces questions est essentielle pour mieux comprendre l'animal. Cet ouvrage, très fourni en exemples, très détaillé et très précis, nous offre la possibilité de faire le point sur le champ de l'éthologie cognitive, mais aussi et surtout sur son étendue et sur ses influences.
