内容説明
This thoroughly documented synthesis on primate evolution, aims to combine the major features of recent studies of primate evolution with classical anatomical information and hence provide an overall picture, with the emphasis on how evidence is sifted and assessed. In recent years there has been increasing emphasis on functional aspects, using laboratory techniques and broad field studies to relate behaviour to ecology. But there has also been much analysis of chromosomal evidence and biochemical features, producing a new framework for considering primate evolution and giving a new impetus to phylogenetic reconstruction.
