| Summary | "The Dancing Mouse: A Study in Animal Behavior" by Robert Mearns Yerkes is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. The work delves into the unique behavioral characteristics of the dancing mouse, particularly its curious movements and responses that intrigue both biologists and pet enthusiasts. The author explores the origins, physiology, and behavioral patterns of this fascinating species while addressing broader themes in animal behavior and psychology. The opening of the study introduces the dancing mouse and describes how the author’s interest was piqued through observing a pair of these creatures at the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. Yerkes recounts initial observations that sparked a thorough investigation into the mice's unique behaviors, which led to questions about their senses, learning capabilities, adaptation to environments, and the methodologies for studying such behaviors. He highlights the lack of comprehensive literature on the dancing mouse, thus motivating his work as a contribution to biological understanding and comparative psychology. This segment effectively sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the dancing mouse's characteristics, domestic care, and behavior, making it a crucial starting point for anyone interested in animal studies.
