  Review

Parenting for Primates is a delightful combination of hard facts and good stories about us and our close relatives. Harriet Smith shows us superdads, devoted and abusive parents, and blended families among nonhuman and human primates too. An important and timely book.

 
  Summary

In this natural history of primate parenting, Harriet Smith compares parenting by non-human and human primates. She describes the many ways that primate mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and even babysitters care for their off-spring, from infancy through young adulthood.
