Seeking common principles of social evolution in different
taxonomic groups, the contributors to this volume discuss eighteen
groups of birds and mammals for which long-term field studies have
been carried out. They examine how social organization is shaped by
the interaction between proximate ecological pressures and
culture"--the social traditions already in place and shaped by
local and phylogenetic history. Originally published in 1987. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
