The emergence of the genus Homo is widely linked to the
colonization of 'new' highly seasonal savannah habitats. However,
until recently, our understanding of the possible impact of
seasonality on this shift has been limited because we have little
general knowledge of how seasonality affects the lives of primates.
This book documents the extent of seasonality in food abundance in
tropical woody vegetation, and then presents systematic analyses of
the impact of seasonality in food supply on the behavioural ecology
of non-human primates. Syntheses in this volume then produce broad
generalizations concerning the impact of seasonality on behavioural
ecology and reproduction in both human and non-human primates, and
apply these insights to primate and human evolution. Written for
graduate students and researchers in biological anthropology and
behavioural ecology, this is an absorbing account of how
seasonality may have affected an important episode in our own
evolution.
