The howling monkeys of Barro Colorado Island in Panama have a
rudimentary language which serves the needs of their social
activities. The red deer of Scotland, the seals of the Pribilof
Islands, the beavers, the social insects, the army ants and
termites, and lastly the colonial and single-celled organisms such
as amoebae all meet the same basic biological necessities of
feeding, reproduction, and social coordination. Though the means of
meeting the requirements are amazingly varied, Mr. Bonner shows
that these three functions form a basic pattern that can be
recognized in amoebae, in monkeys, and in man-in fact wherever life
occurs. Originally published in 1955. 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.
