In 1987, the University of Chicago Press published "Primate
Societies", the standard reference in the field of primate behavior
for an entire generation of students and scientists. But in the
twenty-five years since its publication, new theories and research
techniques for studying the Primate order have been developed,
debated, and tested, forcing scientists to revise their
understanding of our closest living relatives. Intended as a sequel
to "Primate Societies", "The Evolution of Primate Societies"
compiles thirty-one chapters that review the current state of
knowledge regarding the behavior of nonhuman primates. Chapters are
written by leading authorities in the field and organized around
four major adaptive problems primates face as they strive to grow,
maintain themselves, and reproduce in the wild. The inclusion of
chapters on the behavior of humans at the end of each major section
represents one particularly novel aspect of the book, and it will
remind readers what we can learn about ourselves through research
on nonhuman primates. The final section highlights some of the
innovative and cutting-edge research designed to reveal the
similarities and differences between nonhuman and human primate
cognition. "The Evolution of Primate Societies" will be every bit
the landmark publication its predecessor has been.
