Summary
30 years after the publication of his seminal book, 'The Thinking Ape', Richard Byrne develops a new theory of the evolutionary origins of human abilities to understand the world of objects and other people. Defining mental representation and computation as 'insight', he reviews the evidence for this skill in the cognition of animals.
