We know a great deal about roles the environment plays in shaping
survival, reproductive success, and even social systems among
primates. But how do primate life histories affect social systems
and vice versa? Do baboons' patterns of growth, for example, help
to structure their societies? Does fission-fusion sociality
interact with predator pressure to influence the timing of
maturation in chimpanzees?
Exploring these issues and many others, the contributors to
"Primate Life Histories and Socioecology" provide the first
systematic attempt to understand relationships among primate life
histories, ecology, and social behavior conjointly. Topics covered
include how primate life histories interact with rates of
evolution, predator pressure, and diverse social structures; how
the slow maturation of primates affects the behavior of both young
and adult caregivers; and reciprocal relationships between large
brains and increased social and behavioral complexity. The first
collection of its kind, this book will interest a wide range of
researchers, from anthropologists and evolutionary biologists to
psychologists and ecologists.
