Primate Adaptation and Evolution
ISBN: 9780123786326 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 441 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Primate Adaptation and Evolution, Third Edition, is a thorough revision of the text of choice for courses in primate evolution. The book retains its grounding in the extant primate groups as the best way to understand the fossil trail and the evolution of these modern forms. However, this coverage is now streamlined, making reference to the many new and excellent books on living primate ecology and adaptation - a field that has burgeoned since the first edition of Primate Adaptation and Evolution. By drawing out the key features of the extant families and referring to...

Primate Communities
ISBN: 9780521629676 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although the behavior and ecology of primates has been more thoroughly studied than that of any other group of mammals, there have been very few attempts to compare the communities of living primates found in different parts of the world. In Primate Communities, an international group of experts compares the composition, behavior, and ecology of primate communities in Africa, Asia, Madagascar, and South America. They examine the factors underlying the similarities and differences among these communities, including their phylogenetic history, climate, rainfall, soil type, forest composition,...

Anthropoid Origins
ISBN: 9780306447914 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 708 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume brings together information about recent discoveries and current theories concerning the origin and early evolution of anthropoid primates monkeys, apes, and humans. Although Anthropoidea is one of the most dis tinctive groups of living primates, and the origin of the group is a frequent topic of discussion in the anthropological and paleontological literature, the topic of anthropoid origins has rarely been the foeus of direct discussion in primate evolution. Rather, diseussion of anthropoid origins appears as a ma jor side issue in volumes dealing with the origin of platyrrhines...

The Paleobiology of Australopithecus
ISBN: 9789401782401 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Australopithecus species have been the topic of much debate in palaeoanthropology since Raymond Dart described the first species, Australopithecus africanus, in 1925. This volume synthesizes the geological and paleontological context of the species in East and South Africa; covers individual sites, such as Dikika, Hadar, Sterkfontein, and Malapa; debates the alpha taxonomy of some of the species; and addresses questions regarding the movements of the species across the continent. Additional chapters discuss the genus in terms of sexual dimorphism, diet reconstruction using...

Primate Evolution and Human Origins
ISBN: 9780202011752 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Primate Evolution and Human Origins compiles, for the first time, the major ideas and publications that have shaped our current view of the evolutionary biology of the primates and the origin of the human line. Designed for freshmen-to-graduate students in anthropology, paleontology, and biology, the book is a unique collection of classic papers, culled from the past 20 years of research. It is also an important reference for academicians and researchers, as it covers the entire scope of primate and human evolution (with an emphasis on the fossil record). A comprehensive bibliography cites...

Out of Africa I: The First Hominin Colonization of Eurasia
ISBN: 9789400733084 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. For the first two thirds of our evolutionary history, we hominins were restricted to Africa. Dating from about two million years ago, hominin fossils first appear in Eurasia. This volume addresses many of the issues surrounding this initial hominin intercontinental dispersal. Why did hominins first leave Africa in the early Pleistocene and not earlier? What do we know about the adaptations of the hominins that dispersed - their diet, locomotor abilities, cultural abilities? Was there a single dispersal event or several? Was the hominin dispersal part of a broader faunal expansion of African...
