The potential for cognitive neuroscience to shed light on social behaviour is increasingly being acknowledged and is set to become an important new approach in the field of psychology. Standing at the vanguard of this development, The Cognitive Neuroscience of Social Behaviour provides a state-of-the-art contribution to a subject still in its infancy. Divided into three parts, the book presents an overview of research into neural substrates of social interactions, the cognitive neuroscience of social cognition and human disorders of social behaviour and cognition.
Emery I’ve loved Jordan Grady since I was eight. Since he became my protector. Since he became my safe haven each night. But I was younger. Off limits... Until high school when he finally kissed me. And for a few fleeting moments, everything was right in the world. Then I was forced to do the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do... Disappear from his life without a trace. Grady I’m Alabama’s star right tackle—and a real prick. I live my life by a few solid truths. Life isn’t fair. Don’t let anyone get too close. And those who claim to care about you can up and leave. But you know what they say about things that disappear... But Emery Pruitt had never been mine. Even if she had returned after four years. Older. Confident. And more beautiful than the night she vanished. But it didn’t erase the fact that she’d left me. So, why find me now?

Why are humans so clever? The 'Social intelligence' hypothesis explores the idea that this cleverness has evolved through the increasing complexity of social groups. Our ability to understand and control nature is a by-product of our ability to understand the mental states of others and to use this knowledge to co-operate or deceive. These abilities have not emerged out of the blue. They can be found in many social animals that co-operate and compete with one another, birds as well as mammals. This book brings together contributions from an impressive list of authorities in the field, appropriately concluding with a chapter by Nick Humphrey (one of the pioneers in this field). This volume examines social intelligence in many different animal species and explores its development, evolution and the brain systems upon which it depends. Better understanding and further development of social intelligence is critical for the future of the human race and the world that we inhabit. Our problems will not be solved by mere cleverness, but by increased social co-operation.
