| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To better understand uniqueness of human mind, various aspects of minds of great apes such as chimpanzees, and dolphins were investigated from the comparative-cognitive perspective, with special reference to "phylogenetic constraints" and "adaptation to evolutionary environments". We studied mainly perception and cognition of physical and social world in various species of primates and cetaceans. We have found the similarities and specificities of basic visual perception, auditory communication in cetaceans, bodily constraints of spatial perception, tool-use like behavior in cetaceans, understanding of conceptual metaphor, variations in prosocial behaviors in orangutans and dolphins, processes of developmental changes in mother-infant relationships in chimpanzees, orangutans, and Commerson's dolphins.
