Being interested in this field of science,I´m slightly frustrated to not find decent resources on it.
If you do know of/have read a single book on this science,would you please take time to reply.
(I dislike using this forum for such a purpose,if moderator considers it inappropriate,I understand)

To extend it a bit,how do you think this kind of a model-of applying methods of study from animal kingdom to humans work?
Most fundamental social scientists need not answer (just kidding)

edit:mistakes corrected.
 
Um, I remember taking courses on animal behavior in college, so maybe some psych and anthro texts.
Sounds like an anthro thing to me.

Peace
 
Thank you.

Maybe I did not make myself completely clear.
Human ethology is like ethology applied to humans.Ethology being the study of animal behavior (as in terms of instincts,natural behavior) formely known as "animal psychology".Zoopsychology is another,seemingly minor field concerned with "learned" animal behavior.
Like sociobiology,human ethology also adopts evolutionary theory to some degree.
Just to clarify things a bit.

I have seen one book,but no reviews or anything.
 
You don´t like "Naked Ape"?
Anyway,I would have to agree with what you said.

And they are related.
