Postcranial Adaptation in Nonhuman Primates

Booknews

Seven essays address major aspects of functional morphology and anatomy in primates--covering such anatomical regions as the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, hip, thigh foot, and lumbar spine. These are followed by four essays that apply this anatomical knowledge toward interpreting positional and locomotor behavior in extinct primates preserved in the fossil record. Generously illustrated with photos and drawings. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
