      abstract = {In this book, Pellegrini argues that play is an excellent  example of the ways in which biology and culture influence  each other, especially during childhood. Specifically, the  innovative possibilities associated with different forms of  play behavior during the juvenile period can influence  individuals' skill acquisition, and possibly influence the  development of the species. In order to understand play in  this broad sense, it is necessary to understand its  phylogenetic development (across monkeys, great apes, and  humans), its place within human development, and its  function(s) and atecedents. Such an understanding of the  role of play in childhood has implications for a deeper  understanding of the role of development in the human  experience. --From publisher's description.},
