The ontogeny of each individual contributes to the physical,
physiological, cognitive, neurobiological, and behavioral capacity
to manage the complex social relationships and diverse foraging
tasks that characterize the primate order. For these reasons
Building Babies explores the dynamic multigenerational processes of
primate development. The book is organized thematically along the
developmental trajectory:conception, pregnancy, lactation, the
mother-infant dyad, broader social relationships, and transitions
to independence. In this volume, the authors showcase the myriad
approaches to understanding primate developmental trajectories from
both proximate and ultimate perspectives. These collected chapters
provide insights from experimental manipulations in captive
settings to long-term observations of wild-living populations and
consider levels of analysis from molecule to organism to social
group to taxon. Strepsirrhines, New World monkeys, Old World
monkeys, apes, and humans are all well-represented. Contributions
by anthropologists, microbiologists, psychologists, population
geneticists, and other primate experts provide Building Babies a
uniquely diverse voice. Building Babies features multi- and
trans-disciplinary research approaches to primate developmental
trajectories and is particularly useful for researchers and
instructors in anthropology, animal behavior, psychology, and
evolutionary biology. This book also serves as a supplement to
upper-level undergraduate courses or graduate seminars on primate
life history and development. In these contexts, the book provides
exposure to a wide range of methodological and theoretical
perspectives on developmental trajectories and models how
researchers might productively integrate such approaches into their
own work.
