Reconstructing the paleobiology of fossil non-human primates, this
book is intended as an exposition of non-human primate evolution
that includes information about evolutionary theory and processes,
paleobiology, paleoenvironment, how fossils are formed, how fossils
illustrate evolutionary processes, the reconstruction of life from
fossils, the formation of the primate fossil record, functional
anatomy, and the genetic bases of anatomy. Throughout, the emphasis
of the book is on the biology of fossil primates, not their
taxonomic classification or systematics, or formal species
descriptions. The author draws detailed pictures of the
paleoenvironment of fossil primates, including contemporary animals
and plants, and ancient primate communities, emphasizing our
ability to reconstruct lifeways from fragmentary bones and teeth,
using functional anatomy, stable isotopes from enamel and collagen,
and high resolution CT-scans of the cranium. Fossil Primates will
be essential reading for advanced undergraduates and graduate
students in evolutionary anthropology, primatology and vertebrate
paleobiology.
