Review

Review of the hardback: 'In this well structured and detailed book Brockman and Schaik discuss the major role that seasonality plays in influencing the ecology and behaviour of primate species ... I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an existing interest in primatology or evolutionary anthropology ... All in all it offers an interesting and thought-provoking read.' Hannah E. Parathian, University of Oxford

Book Description

Seasonal variability in food abundance affects what primates eat, how they search for food, how and when they are active, and as a consequence, their body size, social life and reproductive timing. This book examines how seasonality might have also affected human evolution particularly in the transition to the savannah.
