The binding is rolled forward with some flexibility,… though the hinges remain intact and unbroken. Minor abrasion is present on the front flyleaf. About ten pages contain sparse highlighting. This book explores the crucial role of primate hands in evolution, particularly their influence on human traits such as upright posture, stereoscopic vision, and environmental manipulation. In both human and non-human primates, hands are essential for survival, serving functions from locomotion in trees to food acquisition. The text examines how the structure and function of hands are closely adapted to the necessities of life but also highlights the complexities of genetic evolution in shaping these adaptations.
