Beskrivning

This volume brings together an outstanding group of scientists studying the behavioural development of primates between weaning and adulthood. The book begins by examining the nature of the juvenile period across the animal kingdom, continues with presentation of new data on the behaviour and social relationships of juvenile primates across a broad range of species, and concludes with applications of concepts in socioecology to research on children. The result is a landmark in primate studies, one that offers an important corrective to the idea that it is sufficient to concentrate on the life stages of adult and infant.

"On target. . . the resulting papers are of high quality, with good graphics. Recommended." --E. Delson, Herbert H. Lehman College/CUNY, Choice"An important book....Should have a positive impact on how evolutionary anthropologists conduct their research....Primatologists and anthropologists will find that [it] raises a number of interesting issues that require much further study. It will increase the importance of life-history research in evolutionary anthropology." --Evolutionary Anthropology"There are many important messages and excellent contributions in this book. . .Each reader will enjoy favorite chapters and recommend selections to colleagues and students," --International Journal of Primatology"One meritorious aspect of this book deserving particular commendment is the zeal with which the editors have references and integrated the chapters. This. . .will facilitate assimilation of the data from a myriad of species. Nevertheless, the collection of material is diverse and the reader's interest will vary across chapters." --American Journal of Primatology
