John Fleagle has improved on his 1988 text by reconceptualizing
chapters and by bringing new findings in functional and evolutionary
approaches to bear on his synthesis of comparative primate data. The
Second Edition provides a foundation upon which students can develop
an understanding of our primate heritage. It features up-to-date
information gained through academic training, laboratory experience
and field research. This beautifully illustrated volume provides a
comprehensive introductory text explaining the many aspects of primate
biology and human evolution.
