Primates: Classification, Evolution and Behavior

Primates: Classification, Evolution & Behavior

Primates: Classification, Evolution & Behavior presents research on the biology, evolution, classification, and behavior of primates. The book examines anatomical and physiological characteristics, locomotion and evolutionary adaptations, neurological processes, cognitive abilities, and behavioral performance in both non-human primates and modern humans. It brings together research covering apes, monkeys, hylobatids, orangutans, gorillas, and chimpanzees, providing useful insights into primate evolution, comparative biology, neuroscience, and behavior.

Key Features:

• Classification and evolution of primates

• Locomotor adaptations in apes and humans
• Lower limb muscle structure and function
• Alzheimer pathology in non-human primates
• Neurobiological aspects of behavior and cognition
• Cognitive abilities of primate species
