Editorial Reviews

Review

"This edition is geared more explicitly toward use as a teaching text, with a brief 'how to use this book' section for students and teachers, a few 'reading questions' at the beginning of
each chapter, and a glossary in the back. More importantly, this edition includes completely new chapters on ecological methods, kinship, and juvenility. There are also total rewrites of several chapters, including those on tool use and behavioral data collection methods,
and minor tweaks to other chapters, including welcome changes in terminology in the chapter on social systems and updates to the chapters in the second section based on newly published field studies. I found all of these changes to be improvements and think they make it a stronger volume than the first edition." -- The Quarterly Review of Biology

Book Description

The most comprehensive and current text on primates by the leading researchers in the field

Agustín Fuentes, a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University, focuses on the biosocial, delving into the entanglement of biological systems with the social and cultural lives of humans, our ancestors, and a few of the other animals with whom humanity shares close relations. Earning his BA/BS in Anthropology and Zoology and his MA and PhD in Anthropology from UC Berkeley, he has conducted research across four continents, multiple species, and two-million years of human history. His current projects include exploring cooperation, creativity, and belief in human evolution, multispecies anthropologies, evolutionary theory and processes, and engaging race and racism. Fuentes’ books include “Race, Monogamy, and other lies they told you: busting myths about human nature” (U of California), “The Creative Spark: how imagination made humans exceptional" (Dutton), and “Why We Believe: evolution and the human way of being” (Yale).

This is the most boring book and why did they add references at each page? Why not do it at the end of each chapter? It really disrupts the overall reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars must have for primatology
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011
This book is the most comprehensive general look at what is what in primate research. The chapters are authored by experts in their particular subject, are usually well written and concise, and contain references to all of the most relevant literature. This book does not have all of the information on every primate species as was commented by a previous reviewer, but that isn't the intention of this book. For that information, a book like the pictorial guide to living primates would be more useful. This book, as a general guide is comprehensive and a must have for primatology students.
