This well-illustrated volume brings together discussions on the latest discoveries and current theories concerning the origin and early evolution of anthropoid primates-monkeys, apes, and humans. Leading researchers address many aspects of anthropoid origins from a variety of perspectives. Articles consider anthropoid origins from the perspective of the prosimians, and discuss the anthropoid perspective to describe early anthropoid radiation. Articles examine both prosimians and anthropoids using cranial, dental, and postcranial features. Booknews Based on revised versions of papers presented at a conference held at Duke U. in May 1992, this volume brings together information about recent discoveries and current theories concerning the origin and early development of anthropoid primates--monkeys, apes, and humans. Many aspects of anthropoid origins are addressed from a variety of perspectives. Some chapters consider anthropoid origins from the perspectives of the prosimians that preceded and perhaps gave rise to higher primates. Some take an anthropoid perspective to describe the early anthropoid radiation and "look back" to see where the group may have come from. They examine both prosimians and anthropoids using cranial, dental, or postcranial features. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
