  • Not a Chimp

    The hunt to find the genes that make us human

    by Jeremy Taylor ...
    Humans are primates, and our closest relatives are the other African apes - chimpanzees closest of all. With the mapping of the human genome, and that of the chimp, a direct comparison of the differences between the two, letter by letter along the billions of As, Gs, Cs, and Ts of the DNA code, has led to the widely vaunted claim that we differ from chimps by a mere 1.6% of our genetic code. A ... Read more

  • The Long Evolution of Brains and Minds

    by Gerhard Roth ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The main topic of the book is a reconstruction of the evolution of nervous systems and brains as well as of mental-cognitive abilities, in short “intelligence” from simplest organisms to humans. It investigates to which extent the two are correlated. One central topic is the alleged uniqueness of the human brain and human intelligence and mind. It is discussed which neural features make certain ... Read more

  • The Woolly Monkey

    Behavior, Ecology, Systematics, and Captive Research

    Edited by Pablo R. Stevenson, Thomas R. Defler ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Woolly monkeys are large, attractive and widespread primates found throughout many parts of the Amazon basin. It is only in the last twenty-five years or so that long-term studies of woollies in their forest habitat have been successful; they have not generally been successfully kept in captivity. But now, especially because of their size, these creatures are pressed on all sides by bush meat ... Read more

  • Mechanisms of Life History Evolution

    The Genetics and Physiology of Life History Traits and Trade-Offs

    Edited by Thomas Flatt, Andreas Heyland ...
    Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction, and survival and by investigating the trade-offs that constrain the evolution of these traits. Although life history theory has made enormous progress in explaining the diversity of life history strategies among ... Read more

  • Primate Locomotion

    Linking Field and Laboratory Research

    Edited by Kristiaan D'Août, Evie E. Vereecke ...
    Series series Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects
    Primate locomotion has typically been studied from two points of view. Laboratory-based researchers have focused on aspects like biomechanics and energetics, whereas field-based researchers have focused on (locomotor) behaviour and ecology. Unfortunately, to date, there is relatively little scientific exchange between both groups. With a book, which will be the result of a symposium on the 2008 ... Read more

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Chimpanzees, including bonobos and common chimpanzees, are our closest living relatives. However, surprisingly, the information about the soft tissues of bonobos is very scarce, making it difficult to discuss and understand human evolution. This book, which is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of bonobos (Pan paniscus), adopts the same format as the photographic atlases ... Read more
