520 _aThe Primate Origins of Human Nature brings a multi-disciplinary, multi-theory, and deeply comparative perspective to the contested idea of "human nature." Drawing on the findings and concepts of classical physical anthropology, behavioral ecology, and comparative and evolutionary psychology, this book uncovers and traces primate antecedents and evolutionary causes for a broad range of supposedly unique features of human social organization, life history, and behavior, from aesthetics to xenophobia. --
520 _aAuthored by a leading researcher and theorist in the study of human and primate behavioral evolution, The Primate Origins of Human Nature is not only an invaluable resource for both students and researchers, but also a creative and ground-breaking synthesis of current knowledge in the biological and social sciences that illuminates the origins and nature of humanity. --
520 _aBy integrating up-to-date interdisciplinary concepts from a wide variety of academic disciplines, this work prepares readers to understand and engage in current debates over how humans came to be. --
520 _aBridges the studies of primatology and anthropology by taking a broad comparative approach --
520 _aEffectively primes the reader on both primate behavioral biology and human evolution --
520 _aIs strongly multi- and inter-disciplinary throughout, offering students a very broad view of the field --
520 _aIs designed to serve as both a textbook and a reference work for researchers in the field --Book Jacket.
