For many years John Fleagle's text on the adaptation and evolution
of primates and early hominoid fossils was the the text of choice
for teachers and research workers alike. Now, as the only such work
in print, this new edition brings this coverage up to date with the
latest fossil finds and most current research.
The book retains its grounding in the extant primate groups as the
best way to understand the fossil trail and the evolution of these
modern forms. But this coverage is now streamlined, making
reference to the many new and excellent books on living primate
ecology and adaptation - a field that has burgeoned since the first
edition of Primate Adaptation and Evolution. By drawing out the key
features of the extant families and referring to more detailed
texts, Fleagle sets the scene and also creates space for a thorough
updating of the exciting developments in primate palaeontology -
and the reconstruction through early hominid species - of our own
human origins.
Illustrated with many of the classic pictures from earlier editions
- and whole new suite of illustrations, revised evolutionary trees
and tables - this book remains the indispensible text on this
fascinating subject.
Long-awaited revision of the standard student text on primate
evolutionFull coverage of newly discovered fossils and the latest
taxonomyOver 200 new illustrations and revised evolutionary trees
