Examples are drawn from the “classic” primate field studies and more recent studies on previously neglected species from across the primate order, illustrating the vast behavioral variation that we now know exists and the gaps in our knowledge that future studies will fill.ĬLICK HERE TO GET BOOK Book The Wiley Handbook on the Development of Children's Memory Description/Summary: This unique, comprehensive, single-authored text integrates the basics of evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives with contemporary noninvasive molecular and hormonal techniques to understand how different primates behave and the significance of these insights for primate conservation. Primate Behavioral Ecology, described as “an engaging, cutting-edge exposition,” incorporates exciting new discoveries and the most up-to-date approaches in its introduction to the field and its applications of behavioral ecology to primate conservation.
All those wanting more information on the mental abilities of these sometimes neglected, but important primates will find this book a treasure trove.ĬLICK HERE TO GET BOOK Book Primate Behavioral Ecology Description/Summary: The remaining chapters focus primarily on the kinds and levels of intelligence displayed by orangutans and gorillas compared to other great apes, including performances in the classic domains of tool use and tool making, imitation, self-awareness, social communication and symbol use.
The introductory chapters set the evolutionary context for comparing cognition in gorillas and orangutans to that of chimpanzees, bonobos and humans. This 1999 volume aims to help complete the picture of hominoid cognition by bringing together the work on gorillas and orangutans and setting it in comparative perspective. In contrast, less attention has been paid to the abilities of gorillas and orangutans. Research on the mental abilities of chimpanzees and bonobos has been widely celebrated and used in reconstructions of human evolution.
