This book provides a comprehensive look at nonhuman primate social
inequalities as models for health differences associated with
socioeconomic status in humans. The benefit of the socially-housed
monkey model is that it provides the complexity of hierarchical
structure and rank affiliation, i.e. both negative and positive
aspects of social status. At the same time, nonhuman primates are
more amenable to controlled experiments and more invasive studies
that can be used in human beings to examine the effects of low
status on brain development, neuroendocrine function, immunity, and
eating behavior. Because all of these biological and behavioral
substrates form the underpinnings of human illness, and are likely
shared among primates, the nonhuman primate model can significantly
advance our understanding of the best interventions in humans.
