“比较心理学”一词并没有很好地反映目前对动物行为的思考，但它仍然是这一领域工作的常用标题。因此，也许最好阐述一下我们在本文中处理这一领域的理由和观点。所有的行为，当然是动物物种之间的行为，也可能是人类动物之间的行为，都是由一个总体需求驱动的，即个体动物将其基因传递给后代。对这一目的没有贡献的行为将趋于消亡，取而代之的是更有助于确保个体携带的基因传递给后代的行为。
The term ‘comparative psychology’ does not reflect well present thought on animal behaviour, but yet it remains a frequently used title of this area of work. Accordingly, it is perhaps as well to set out the rationale and perspective from which we have approached the area in this text. All behaviour, certainly among animal species, and probably among human animals as well, is driven by an overarching need, that of the individual animal to pass its genes on to succeeding generations. Behaviour which does not contribute to this end will tend to die out, to be replaced by behaviour which does more to ensure that the genes an individual carries are transmitted to offspring.
