Primate and Human Evolution provides a synthesis of the evolution
and adaptive significance of human anatomical, physiological and
behavioral traits. Using paleontology and modern human variation
and biology, it compares hominid traits to those of other
catarrhine primates both living and extinct, presenting a new
hominization model that does not depend solely on global climate
change, but on predictable trends observed in catarrhines. Dealing
with the origins of hominid tool use and tool manufacture, it
compares tool behavior in other animals and incorporates
information from the earliest archaeological record. Examining the
use of non-human primates and other mammals in modeling the origins
of early human social behavior, Susan Cachel argues that human
intelligence does not arise from complex social interactions, but
from attentiveness to the natural world. This book will be a rich
source of inspiration for all those interested in the evolution of
all primates, including ourselves.
