Download or read book Shaping Primate Evolution written by Fred Anapol and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-20 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This state-of-the-art book on how form is described in primate biology, and its consequences for function and behavior, includes contributions by internationally renowned researchers of quantitative primate evolutionary morphology. Each chapter elaborates upon the analysis of the form-function-behavior triad. The book is unique, therefore, not only in the diversity of the topics discussed, but in the range of levels of biological organization addressed--from cellular morphometrics to the evolution of primate ecology.
