The New World primates have radiated widely in tropical America,
evolving a variety of adaptations to cope with different ways of
life. This comparative survey examines many species. Some are
highly specialized in unique ways; others have paralleled the
lemurs of Madagascar or the monkeys and apes of Africa and Asia.
The author's emphasis is on natural history, behavior, and ecology.
Topics include geographical distributions, habitat preferences,
territorial arrangements, activity rhythms, feeding techniques,
defense mechanisms, and competition and cooperation among
individuals of the same species. Much of the material is new, based
on recent research in the field. Social reactions and
organizations, and communication systems, are discussed in order to
consider their implications for the evolution of primates in
general and the development of languages and intelligence.
Originally published in 1976. 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.
