Product Review
"Even at $120, it belongs on the shelf of everyone who does research on animal social behavior or the evolution of human social behavior." American Journal of Human Biology, Joseph H. Manson, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Los Angeles
"This great volume focuses on the macaquesthis is a cohesive, insightful, and valuable collection." CHOICE May 2005
"This timely and useful volume provides not only a reminder of the wealth of valuable information available about this genus, but also presents a tantalizing set of hypotheses, ideas, and predictions that can, perhaps in the near future, be tested on that rarest of zoological treasures: a new species from a well-studied taxon." The Quarterly Review of Biology, Harold Gouzoules
Product Description
Macaques are perhaps the most comprehensively studied of all monkey groups, and the twenty species feature a broad diversity of social relationships, making them an ideal group for exploring the evolution of primate societies. This book investigates how societies arose, developed and were transformed during the course of evolution. Written especially for students of animal behavior and primatology, the study will be of interest as well to those studying human societies and their evolution.
