<p>Imprinting is the process in which certain stimuli introduced during specific developmental phases set irreversible templates for behaviour perception and mate preference across species.<br /><br />There is one species in which ethological imprinting remains unmapped: Homo sapiens.<br /><br /><i>This book posits these new theories:</i><br /><br />That imprinting exists in all mammals and most other higher-order species.<br /><br />That the evolutionary advantage imprinting provides is an advantage to evolution itself reducing difference-penalties so groups accept and propagate beneficial mutations in real time.<br /><br />That identifiable and quantifiable ecological imprinting processes exist in humans.</p>
