Описание:
This comprehensive introduction demonstrates the theoretical perspectives and concepts that are applied to primate behavior, and explores the relevance of non-human primates to understanding human behavior. Using a streamlined and student-friendly taxonomic framework, King provides a thorough overview of the primate order. The chapters cover common features and diversity, and touch on ecology, sociality, life history, and cognition. Text boxes are included throughout the discussion featuring additional topics and more sophisticated taxonomy. The book contains a wealth of illustrations, and further resources to support teaching and learning are available via a companion website. Written in an engaging and approachable style, this is an invaluable resource for students of primate behavior as well as human evolution.

Описание: Parasites have been infecting humans throughout our evolution. When complex societies developed, the greater population density provided new opportunities for parasites to spread. In this interdisciplinary volume, the author brings his expertise in medicine, archaeology and history to explore the contribution of parasites in causing flourishing past civilizations to falter and decline. By using cutting edge methods, Mitchell presents the evidence for parasites that infected the peoples of key ancient civilizations across the world in order to understand their impact upon those populations. This new understanding of the archaeological and historical evidence for intestinal worms, ectoparasites, and protozoa shows how different cultures were burdened by contrasting types of diseases depending upon their geographical location, endemic insects, food preferences and cultural beliefs.

Описание: The first edition is a seminal work on dental morphology. Now revised and updated to include developments in the field, this synthesis of the global variation in tooth structure in recent human populations is invaluable for students of dental anthropology, bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology, paleoanthropology, dentistry, and genetics.

Описание: This book introduces students and researchers to the morphology, anatomy, taxonomy, ecology and conservation of lorisid primates, a group more well-known from videos on social media than their behaviour in the wild and by their unique evolutionary adaptations. A must-have on any primatology, biological anthropology or conservation reading list.

Описание: This widely dispersed primate population adapts to multiple environmental challenges, from deserts to freezing temperatures. This book details how this genus adapts genetically, hormonally, physically and behaviourally to changing landscapes, with overviews of topics such as behavioural ecology and genetics and short essays on research projects.

Описание: Chimpanzees from different regions of Africa do things differently, as do humans from different countries. The question of why highlights the debate about culture. Wild Cultures takes readers into the lives of chimpanzees. This journey reveals many parallels between humans and chimpanzees and points to striking differences.
Описание: This volume demonstrates the role of cellular mechanisms in the production of specializations defining primates with respect to locomotion, energetics and diet. We highlight how genetic analysis, visualization of cells and tissues, and merging Evo-Devo with cell biology combine to answer questions central to understanding primate evolution.

Описание: Reconstructing the paleobiology of fossil non-human primates, this book is intended as an exposition of non-human primate evolution that includes information about evolutionary theory and processes, paleobiology, paleoenvironment, how fossils are formed, how fossils illustrate evolutionary processes, the reconstruction of life from fossils, the formation of the primate fossil record, functional anatomy, and the genetic bases of anatomy. Throughout, the emphasis of the book is on the biology of fossil primates, not their taxonomic classification or systematics, or formal species descriptions. The author draws detailed pictures of the paleoenvironment of fossil primates, including contemporary animals and plants, and ancient primate communities, emphasizing our ability to reconstruct lifeways from fragmentary bones and teeth, using functional anatomy, stable isotopes from enamel and collagen, and high resolution CT-scans of the cranium. Fossil Primates will be essential reading for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in evolutionary anthropology, primatology and vertebrate paleobiology.
