The field of primatology has grown to become very complex and now incorporates information from molecular genetics,
physiology, and brain studies. Many of the texts imparting this information are much too advanced for undergraduate
students. Pia Nystrom & Pamela Ashmore present to you a comprehensive text written about nonhuman primates
built from the ground up written for the undergraduate student.
The Life of Primates, 1/e helps students tackle the complex ideas and issues of primatology by first establishing
the context and groundwork from which these studies were conducted.
