Primate life histories and socioecology.
Chicago: Chicago University Press, 2003. Octavo, paperback, illustrations.
Provides the first systematic attempt to understand relationships among primate life histories, ecology and social behaviour. Topics covered include how primate life histories interact with rates of evolution, predator pressure and diverse social structures; how the slow maturation of primates affects the behaviour of both young and adult caregivers; and reciprocal relationships between large brains and increased social and behavioural complexity.
