Primate Behavior And Human Origins

This book provides a comprehensive overview of primate behavior. As well as covering common features and diversity, it demonstrates the theoretical perspectives and concepts that are applied to primate behavior, and explores the relevance of non-human primates to understanding human behavior. King uses a streamlined and student-friendly taxonomic framework and touches on areas of ecology, sociality, life history, and cognition. Text boxes are included throughout the discussion to ensure additional attention is given to controversial topics, anatomy related to behavior, and more sophisticated taxonomy. The book contains a wealth of illustrations, figures and tables, and further resources are available via a companion website.
