The interest in primates, from lemurs to gorillas, has never been
greater. Primatologists are constantly finding evidence in the
behavior and ecology of our closest genetic relatives that sheds
light on human origins. So, just who are these 520+ species of
complex and intelligent mammals inhabiting the Neotropics, Africa,
Madagascar, and Asia? The Natural History of Primates provides the
most current information on wild primates from experts who have
studied them in their natural environments. This volume provides
up-to-date facts and figures on how groups of social primates
interact with each other and the plants and other animal species in
their ecosystems: what they eat, which predators might eat them,
how males and females seek mates, which sex is dominant, how
infants are raised, and a myriad other fascinating details about
their size and coloring, their visual and vocal communication,
their ability to craft and use tools, and the varieties of
locomotion they employ. As human populations continue to expand
into the rainforests, savannas, and woodlands where non-human
primates dwell, the preservation of these species becomes ever more
important. The Natural History of Primates is unique in its
emphasis on the conservation status of primate species and its
ample discussions on how humans and non-human primates can coexist
in the 21st century.
