Описание: The list of challenges facing nonhuman primates in the 21st century is a long one. The expansion of palm oil plantations to feed a growing consumer class is eating away at ape and monkey habitats in Southeast Asia and Central Africa. Lemurs are hunted for food in the poorest parts of Madagascar while monkeys are used as medicine in Brazil. Traditional cultural beliefs are maintaining demand for animal body parts in West African markets while viral YouTube videos of “cute” and “cuddly” lorises have increased their market value as pets and endangered their populations. These and other issues are addressed in this book by leading researchers in the field of ethnoprimatology, the study of human/nonhuman primate interactions that combines traditional primatological methodologies with cultural anthropology in an effort to better understand the nuances of our economic, ritualistic, and ecologic relationships.

Описание: This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters, different authors have addressed a variety of specific questions and provided their perspectives, but all explore the main themes described above to provide an overarching “primitive primate hand” thread to the book. Each chapter provides an in-depth review and critical account of the available literature, a balanced interpretation of the evidence from a variety of perspectives, and prospects for future research questions. In order to make this a useful resource for researchers at all levels, the basic structure of each chapter is the same, so that information can be easily consulted from chapter to chapter. An extensive reference list is provided at the end of each chapter so the reader has additional resources to address more specific questions or to find specific data.

Описание: The course intended to serve students and researchers using primates in medical and biological research, but especially those interested in the natural history of the group and in human biology. In terms of both prac- tical human purposes and theoretical interests, the study of primate biology and behaviour is of ever increasing importance.

Описание: Consisting of research on the neural and behavioral lateralization of the brain relying heavily on animal modes, this book employs the comparative method to enhance understanding of behavior, specifically through hand use and "handedness" by drawing comparisons with studies involving primates.

Описание: Further, because an increasing number of primate species are becom- ing endangered, knowledge of their responsiveness to new environ- ments is an essential requirement for effective breeding programmes in captivity, and for the translocation and rehabilitation of species in the wild.

Описание: In this provocative view of human evolution, Clive Finlayson argues that the critical factor to shape us was environmental change, particularly the availability of water. Using these new insights he demonstrates the radical implications for our understanding of the emergence and spread of Homo sapiens.
