| Book Description | This book provides a novel focus on adaptive explanations for cranial and postcranial features and functional complexes, socioecological systems, life history patterns, etc. in early primates. It further offers a detailed rendering of the phylogenetic affinities of such basal taxa to later primate clades as well as to other early/recent mammalian orders. In addition to the strictly paleontological or systemic questions regarding Primate Origins, the editors concentrate on the adaptive significance of primate characteristics. Thus, the book provides the broadest possible perspective on early primate phylogeny and the adaptive uniqueness of the Order Primates. ReviewFrom the reviews:"The outgrowth of a conference on the adaptive/phylogenetic aspects of the groups origin, this book includes 23 chapters in four sections. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers. " (E. Delson, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (2), 2007)"Primate Origins is a weighty tome, both literally and figuratively. |
