Evolutionary Cell Processes in Primates

ISBN-13: 9781032072715 / Miękka / 2024 / 254 str.

Opis

This volume demonstrates the role of cellular mechanisms producing traits defining primates such as encephalization and various sensory systems. We highlight how genetic analysis, tissue and cell visualization, and merging Evo-Devo with cell biology combine to answer questions central to understanding human and primate evolution.

Recenzje

" … these volumes will be of broad interest to biological anthropologists and demonstrates that cell biology can be incorporated into the study of any biological trait.　 In addition to the wide variety of complex traits covered by the authors, an equally impressive range of cellular and molecular concepts and techniques are included.　 The chapters within these volumes provide an excellent survey [and will be] a valuable resource for biological anthropologists for year to come."　 K. E. Willmore – American Journal of Biological Anthropology.
