Pp. iii, 265; numerous text-figures (line-drawings, black-and-white photos, cladograms, graphs). Original printed yellow wrappers, lettered in brown on the spine and front cover, lg 8vo. This volume is based on a symposium entitled "Evolution and Diversification of the Postcranium in Primates" which was held at the Fifty-Sixth Annual Meetings of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in New York on April 4, 1987.

The volume contains 10 chapters by notable authorities on the field; the titles of four papers follow: Evolution of Hallucial Grasping in the primates; Implications of postcranial evidence for the origin of euprimates; Adaptive diversification of Malagasy strepsirrhines; and Relative joint size and hominoid locomotor adaptations with implications for the evolution of hominid bipedalism. This work is reprinted from Journal of Human Evolution, volume 17, no. 1/2 (1988). No ownership marks and few signs of use. A bright and clean copy in near fine condition.
