Primate Anatomy : Introduction to Extant Primates Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Primate Anatomy: Introduction to Extant Primates synthesizes the taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, and genomics of extant primates, including humans.

It takes a holistic approach to describing primate skeletal, muscular, and organ structure and function, providing the tools to understanding the fundamentals and state of the science of primatology.

Now in its fourth edition, this work introduces its audience to the history and objectives of the field of primatology.

It enumerates and profiles extant primates before delving into detailed descriptions of primate skulls, brains, teeth, skeletons, musculature, organs, blood groups, reproduction, and development. In addition, the book highlights recent advances in primate genomics, including new genera and species assignments, and concludes with a glance at the future of the field.

Written by longtime expert Friderun Ankel-Simons, this new edition effectively introduces complex biological concepts in a manner accessible to all readers.

It will serve as an excellent reference for technical and non-technical audiences, including primatologists, anatomists, paleontologists, anthropologists, conservationists, and naturalists.
