This book celebrates the contributions of Dr. Frederick S. Szalay
to the field of Mammalian Evolutionary Morphology. Professor Szalay
is a strong advocate for biologically and evolutionarily meaningful
character analysis. He has published about 200 articles, six
monographs, and six books on this subject. This book features
subjects such as the evolution and adaptation of mammals and
provides up-to-date articles on the evolutionary morphology of a
wide range of mammalian groups.
This book provides a novel focus on adaptive explanations for
cranial and postcranial features and functional complexes,
socioecological systems, life history patterns, etc. in early
primates. It further offers a detailed rendering of the
phylogenetic affinities of such basal taxa to later primate clades
as well as to other early/recent mammalian orders. In addition to
the strictly paleontological or systemic questions regarding
Primate Origins, the editors concentrate on the adaptive
significance of primate characteristics. Thus, the book provides
the broadest possible perspective on early primate phylogeny and
the adaptive uniqueness of the Order Primates.
