Comparative studies are becoming increasingly important as a means for understanding the biology, behaviour and evolution of mammals especially primates. This is the first book to draw together a wide range of experts to place recent field research on primates, especially on less well known species, into a synthetic perspective.

More DescriptionComparative studies are becoming increasingly important as a means for understanding the biology, behaviour and evolution of mammals especially primates. This is the first book to draw together a wide range of experts to place recent field research on primates, especially on less well known species, into a synthetic perspective. The authors look at controversial issues surrounding the evolution of primate behavioural strategies including those of humans, and give an overview of comparative methods for future research. It will rapidly become a valuable addition to all primatologists' bookshelves.
