The Real Chimpanzee

Gorilla Biology

Sex Strategies in the Forest Christophe Boesch

A Multidisciplinary Perspective Edited by Andrea B. Taylor

Max-Planck-Institut für Evolutionäre Anthropologie, Germany

Duke University, North Carolina

The Real Chimpanzee encapsulates the fascinating behaviour of wild chimpanzees and discusses the differences observed in different populations across the species, and across the many levels of their social behaviour. It explains why sex competition and predation pressures in a forest chimpanzee population made the females of the group highly social and gave the males a high level of within-group solidarity, making them very xenophobic towards outsiders. Love is what makes war possible.

Christophe Boesch brings back to the table the debate over ecological pressures and social organization, and the influence they have over issues such as the evolution of warfare, cooperation, altruism and the position of females. Written in an accessible style for a general audience as well as for undergraduate and graduate students, he presents insightful views to give readers the background information to understand the struggle for survival of our closest living relative, the chimpanzee, and through this to find some keys to the ever-so-intriguing question of what makes us human.

and Michele L. Goldsmith Gorillas are one of our closest living relatives, are the largest living primate, yet are perhaps the most misunderstood great ape.

Teetering on the brink of extinction, they are also of increasing conservation concern. Gorilla Biology is the first comparative perspective on gorilla populations throughout their range.

Review of the hardback: 'This book will be an essential reference for primatologists, anthropologists and evolutionary biologists and many of the chapters will interest conservationists and non-specialists looking for an insight into these fascinating animals.'

Spider Monkeys

Kyoto University, Japan

Spider monkeys are traditionally very difficult to study in the wild, but there has been an expansion in research being carried out on this genus in the past decade. This book is an assimilation of both published and previously unpublished research on spider monkeys, for academic researchers and graduate students.

The Dynamics and Study of Host-Parasite Relationships Edited by Michael A. Huffman and Colin A. Chapman McGill University, Montréal

Anyone who has spent an extended period in the tropics has an idea, through caring for others or first-hand experience, just what it is like to be a primate parasite host. Monkeys and apes often share parasites with humans, for example the HIV viruses which evolved from related viruses of chimpanzees and sooty mangabeys, and so understanding the ecology of infectious diseases in non-human primates is of paramount importance.

Furthermore, there is accumulating evidence that environmental change may promote contact between humans and non-human primates and increase the possibility of sharing infectious disease. Written for academic researchers, this book addresses these issues and provides up-to-date information on the methods of study, natural history and ecology theory of the exciting field of primate parasite ecology.

‘McGrew creates a unique framework for drawing scattered data together, thereby clarifying what is known and what is not yet known. His logic and his trains of thought are extremely clear. The text is simple to follow, even for non-English readers, and yet the messages are stimulating, heuristic and reach deep into the heart of the matter … McGrew's Chimpanzee Material Culture (1992) is already recognized as one of primatology's classic textbooks and this 2004 follow-up should receive similarly wide attention and become another milestone in the study of the evolutionary basis of human culture.‘ Nature

‘One of the attractive features of this book, as was true of the earlier volume by the same author (McGrew, 1992), is its comprehensive coverage of related studies…Easily the most important factor is that one needs to know chimpanzees well in order to protect them. McGrew, without doubt, is one of the most knowledgeable.‘

‘An essential reference for any university library.’
