Animal Behaviour

Conwy Lloyd Morgan Fellow of the Royal Society (6 February 1852 – 6 March 1936) was a British ethologist and psychologist. He is remembered for his theory of emergent evolution and for the experimental approach to animal psychology now known as Morgans canon a principle that played a major role in behaviourism insisting that higher mental faculties should only be considered as explanations if lower faculties could not explain a behaviour.
