All Animal Experimental and Comparative Psychology

Groups the branches that study behavior and mind by comparison across species rather than within a single human population: Comparative Psychology examines similarities and differences in behavior and cognition across animal species including humans, and Evolutionary Psychology explains human mental traits as adaptations shaped by natural selection over the species' evolutionary history. A branch studying a single population's development or social behavior without a cross-species or evolutionary comparison belongs elsewhere.
