About

For social animals one of the major skills that must be learned is how to recognise important individuals in their social environment. This lecture is an examination of the capacities for different species to recognise each other by scent, sound or sight, with focus on the evolution of face-recognition. It also considers what key factors determine social and sexual attraction and prevent incest.
