 | | Seasonality in Primates(1st Edition) Studies of Living and Extinct Human and Non-Human Primates (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology) by Diane K. Brockman, Carolus Philippus Schaik, Carel Van Schaik Hardcover, 604 Pages, Published 2005 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-82069-1, ISBN: 0-521-82069-3 "The emergence of the genus Homo is widely linked to the colonization of 'new' highly seasonal savannah habitats. However, until recently, our understanding of the possible impact of seasonality on this shift has been limited because we have little general knowledge of how seasonality affects the lives of primates. This book documents the extent of seasonality in food abundance in tropical woody vegetation, and then presents systematic a ..." |
 | | Infanticide by Males and its Implications(1st Edition) by Charles H. Janson, Carel Van Schaik, Charles Helmar Janson Paperback, 584 Pages, Published 2000 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-77498-7, ISBN: 0-521-77498-5 "Male primates, carnivores and rodents sometimes kill infants that they did not sire. Infanticide by males is a relatively common phenomenon in these groups, but tends to be rare in any given species. Is this behavior pathological or accidental, or does it reflect a conditional reproductive strategy for males in certain circumstances? In this book, case studies and reviews confirm the adaptive nature of infanticide in males in primates, ..." |

Yet the Balkanization of animal research has prevented us from studying the same problem in other large-brained, long-lived animals, such as hyenas and elephants, bats and sperm whales. Social complexity turns out to be wide ..." |
