This unique volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date
examination of all aspects of the biology of the Old World monkey
genus, Theropithecus, which evolved alongside our human ancestors.
The authors explore the fossil history and evolution of the genus,
its biogeography, comparative evolutionary biology and anatomy, and
the behaviour and socioecology of the living and extinct
representatives of the genus. The parallels between the evolution
of Theropithecus and early hominids are discussed. There are also
two chapters of particular significance which describe how an
innovative and exciting approach to the modelling of the causes of
species extinction can be used with great success. This highly
multidisciplinary approach provides a rare and insightful account
of the evolutionary biology of this fascinating and once highly
successful group of primates. Theropithecus will be of interest to
researchers in the fields of primatology, anthropology,
palaeontology, and mammalian behaviour, physiology and anatomy.
