The Primate Family Tree “An up-to-date, comprehensive, appealing introduction to the great diversity of primates ... The book is beautifully designed, and the contents are well organized and will be interesting to all ... Each page is a delight to read. This book would be an excellent text for a relevant course or a welcome addition to any home library. I recommend it very highly.” —Marvin Druger, Syracuse University, Science Books and Films

The Primate Family Tree is a beautifully illustrated and complete guide to more than 270 species of primates from the four main primate groups: prosimians, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys and the apes. The authoritative text is complemented by more than 180 color photographs taken in the field, along with color illustrations, range maps and species-classification diagrams. It covers global distribution of primate species; their diet, habitat and biology; and primate culture, social structure and communication. Additional topics include anthropological theories, DNA research, species conservation, habitat loss and the effects of the bush meat trade, civil war, traditional medicine and tourism on primate survival.

The Primate Family Tree

This is an exceptional reference for students, naturalists, teachers and anyone else interested in primates or conservation issues.
