This volume brings together current research on the behavior, ecology, reproduction, and life history of baboons of the genus Papio, shedding light on what makes baboons successful. The book focuses on issues such as infanticide, mating strategies and investment, hybridization and genetics. The findings have broad applications to understanding the evolution of complex life history adaptations in other primates, and of humans in particular.
This book is an essential, up-to-date reference on the behavior,
ecology, and reproduction of wild hamadryas baboons. This book
rectifies the male-biased view of hamadryas baboon behavior that
has persisted over the decades, suggesting that female behavior
contributes more to hamadryas social organization than has
previously been assumed, and that females may, in fact, be acting
in their own best interests after all. Those potentially conducting
research on hamadryas baboons, baboons in general, or primates in
general include university faculty, researchers at other
institutions, and undergraduate and graduate students
world-wide.
This book describes the first field study focusing on the behavior of hamadryas females in the wild. In its attempt to rectify the male-biased view of hamadryas baboon behavior that has persisted over the decades, this book suggests that female behavior contributes more to hamadryas social organization than has previously been assumed and that females may, in fact, be acting in their own best interests after all. For upper-level undergraduate courses on primate behavior and ecology.
