This magnificent volume is a clear and comprehensive review of the
African mammalian fossil record over the past 65 million years.
"Cenozoic Mammals of Africa" includes current taxonomic and
systematic revisions of all African mammal taxa, detailed
compilations of fossil site occurrences, and a wealth of
information regarding paleobiology, phylogeny, and biogeography.
Primates, including hominins, are particularly well covered. The
discussion addresses the systematics of endemic African mammals,
factors relating to species richness, and a summary of isotopic
information. The work also provides contextual information about
Cenozoic African tectonics, chrono stratigraphy of sites,
paleobotany, and global and regional climate change. Updating our
understanding of this important material with the wealth of
research from the past three decades, this volume is an essential
resource for anyone interested in the evolutionary history of
Africa and the diversification of its mammals.
