Book Synopsis Kinship and Behavior in Primates by : Bernard Chapais
Download or read book Kinship and Behavior in Primates written by Bernard Chapais and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a series of review chapters on the various aspects of primate kinship and behavior, as a fundamental reference for students and professionals interested in primate behavior, ecology and evolution. The relatively new molecular data allow one to assess directly degrees of genetic relatedness and kinship relations between individuals, and a considerable body of data on intergroup variation, based on experimental studies in both free-ranging and captive groups has accumulated, allowing a rather full and satisfying reconsideration of this whole broad area of research. The book should be of considerable interest to students of social evolution and behavioral ecology.

Book Synopsis Cooperation in Primates and Humans by : Peter Kappeler
Download or read book Cooperation in Primates and Humans written by Peter Kappeler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-20 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the many facets of cooperative behavior in primates and humans as some of the world’s leading experts review and summarize the state-of-the-art of theoretical and empirical studies of cooperation. This book is the first to bridge the gap between parallel research in primatology and studies of humans. Comparative as this approach is, it highlights both common principles and aspects of human uniqueness with respect to cooperative behavior.

Book Synopsis Kinship, Friendship, Sex and Aggression in Free-Ranging Rhesus Monkeys by : Andrew Peter Wilson
Download or read book Kinship, Friendship, Sex and Aggression in Free-Ranging Rhesus Monkeys written by Andrew Peter Wilson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-12 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinship, Friendship, Sex and Aggression in Free-ranging Rhesus Monkeys is an "ethnography" of social behavior. Descended from individuals brought from India in 1938 by the comparative primate psychologist C.R. Carpenter, who anticipating WWII, foresaw the supply of monkeys for medical research being cut off. The colony is located on Cayo Santiago, a forty-acre island, 5/8 of a mile off the coast of Puerto Rico and is by now the best-studied population of nonhuman primates in the world. Following Carpenter's initial studies (1942), a detailed field study of the Cayo Santiago colony was made by Stuart Altmann (1954), a student of E.O. Wilson. Many investigators followed. Noteworthy among them is Donald Sade, an anthropologist, whose many graduate students followed his pioneering work. My own study was initiated under Sade's guidance in July 1964 when I went with Sade for a summer's introductory field work in Puerto Rico from graduate school at Berkeley.
Book Synopsis Understanding Behavior by : James Loy
Download or read book Understanding Behavior written by James Loy and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific studies of monkeys, apes, and other nonhuman primates began just over 50 years ago. Since then tens of thousands of hours of observation have been made on these animals in the wild and in captivity. The chief rationale for scientific primatology has always been the belief that mportant insights into human behavior and society could be gained through studies of our evolutionary kin. This book reviews what we have learned. Distinguished researchers outline primatological insights in six areas: sex, parenting, behavioral development, aggression/dominance, culture and kinship. The chapters show how primates have been used as simplified models of human behaviors and how they have contributed to scenarios of human evolution. Lay readers, students, and specialists alike will find this a readable and useful compendium of the findings of scientific primatology.

Book excerpt: "Brutal Kinship" explores the relationship between humankind and its closest relative, the chimpanzee, presenting these extraordinary animals in the wild, in captivity and in protective sanctuaries. In photographs and commentary Michael Nichols and Jane Goodall show us that chimpanzees are physically, emotionally and intellectually closer to us than we imagined and that we have forced them into a more human yet less humane existence.
Book Synopsis Primate Behavior by : Leonard A. Rosenblum
Download or read book Primate Behavior written by Leonard A. Rosenblum and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primate Behavior: Developments in Field and Laboratory Research, Volume 1, was created to fill the need for a publication series which can provide a continuing arena of discourse for all those scientists of varying disciplines concerned with the behavior of primates. It is expected that the participants in this new serial publication and those who will find interest and value in the material it contains will be drawn from a wide array of scientific disciplines, including psychology, anthropology, zoology, psychiatry, physiology, pharmacology, veterinary medicine, and space technology. The present volume contains six chapters and begins with a review of the far-ranging literature on learning in the several species of anthropoids. The next three chapters review current knowledge regarding the various dimensions of abnormal behavior in primates; analyze the multidimensional concept of dominance; and detail the diversity and communality of behavior patterns in a number of tree shrew species. The final two chapters develop a conceptual approach toward and the empirical foundations of the study of social attachments in monkeys, and presents an extensive field study on the Nilgiri langur in South India, respectively.
Book Synopsis Social Play in Primates by : Euclid Smith
Download or read book Social Play in Primates written by Euclid Smith and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Play in Primates provides comprehensive discussions on the social aspect of play in the behavior of primates. It also presents various approaches in understanding the complex behavioral phenomenon of play. Composed of 11 chapters, the book starts by discussing the historical background of play. It also traces the development of the interest in the study of play from the writings of Aristotle, through educational reformers of the 17th and 18th centuries, to the psychologists of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book then presents important data on the effects of gonadectomy on social play in group-living rhesus monkeys. It also presents a comparative study about the play behavior of three of the four great ape species. Furthermore, it offers a view of the function of play in primate society. Finally, the book examines play in young humans by citing some significant information on the nature of peer- vs. adult-oriented early social experience. The book concludes by presenting both the theoretical and methodological aspects on the study of play.
Book Synopsis Mammal Societies by : Tim Clutton-Brock
Download or read book Mammal Societies written by Tim Clutton-Brock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to integrate our understanding of mammalian societies into a novel synthesis that is relevant to behavioural ecologists, ecologists, and anthropologists. It adopts a coherent structure that deals initially with the characteristics and strategies of females, before covering those of males, cooperative societies and hominid societies. It reviews our current understanding both of the structure of societies and of the strategies of individuals; it combines coverage of relevant areas of theory with coverage of interspecific comparisons, intraspecific comparisons and experiments; it explores both evolutionary causes of different traits and their ecological consequences; and it integrates research on different groups of mammals with research on primates and humans and attempts to put research on human societies into a broader perspective.
Book Synopsis Primate Behavior and Sociobiology by : A.B. Chiarelli
Download or read book Primate Behavior and Sociobiology written by A.B. Chiarelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The VIIIth International Congress of the International Prirnatological Society was held from 7 through 11 July 1980 in Florence, Italy, under the auspices of the host institution, the Istituto di Antropologia of the University of Flor~nce. More than 300 papers and abstracts were presented either at the main Congress or in 14 pre-Congress symposia the week earlier (so scheduled to avoid conflicting with either the main invited lectures or the contributed paper sessions). This volume consists of the contributed papers concerning primate behavior, with special emphasis on those social aspects that reflect on or affect primate biology. Clearly, this is one of the more important and popular subdisciplines in primatology today. We have thus restricted the subject, in agreement with the publishers, in order to ensure a successful and useful volume that is likely to be generally noticed and widely available, as these up-to-date contributions deserve. Furthermore, we have compiled this volume in a fairly new way for congress proceedings. In view of space limitations, and the need to guarantee a high-quality and sufficiently specialized book, we subjected all manuscripts to a four-level internal review process and selected only the best 23 of the 50 submissions. We favored natural-observation work over captive studies. This rejection rate of 54% exceeds that of almost all reviewed scholarly journals.
