This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive
and novel morphology, both general function with specialization,
and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and
yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters,
different authors have addressed a variety of specific questions
and provided their perspectives, but all explore the main themes
described above to provide an overarching "primitive primate hand"
thread to the book. Each chapter provides an in-depth review and
critical account of the available literature, a balanced
interpretation of the evidence from a variety of perspectives, and
prospects for future research questions. In order to make this a
useful resource for researchers at all levels, the basic structure
of each chapter is the same, so that information can be easily
consulted from chapter to chapter. An extensive reference list is
provided at the end of each chapter so the reader has additional
resources to address more specific questions or to find specific
data.
