Frustration over not finding an up-to-date textbook that meshed with her course on primates led this U. of Albany anthropologist to write her own introduction to primate evolution, and methods and theory for studying diverse living primates. Includes photos, field notes, species distribution maps, chapter review exercises, and a glossary ending with the term "zygomatics." Falk is known for her "radiator theory" of brain evolution (not discussed here). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)John C. Mitani
