"This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular and hormonal techniques to understand how different primates behave and the significance of these in…
Predator sensitive foraging is about balancing the need to eat against the need to avoid being eaten. Eat or be Eaten explores all the available information from fieldwork and the laboratory to broaden our understanding of this complex but fascinating field.

"The papers in this special issue examine tool use and manual gestures in primates as a window on the evolution of the human capacity for language."--Page 4.
Since the 1960s, primatologists have recognized the impact of predation on the evolution of morphology, the social systems and cognitive behavior of monkeys and apes, but few studies considered its impact on the prosimians - lemurs, lorises, galagos and tarsiers. This comprehens…
After many years of observing chimpanzees soothe distressed neighbors and bonobos share their food, the author presents evidence of ethical behaviour in primate societies that further cements the case for the biological origins of human fairness. Primatologist de Waal argues tha…
