Pp. xiv, 483; numerous text-figures (mostly line-drawings and graphs, some black-and-white photos). Publisher's original red cloth, lettered in black on the spine with images of primates printed in black on the front board, pictorial tan dust jacket lettered in red on the spine and front cover, lg 8vo. Proceedings of the Wenner-Gren Symposium #61 held in Burg Wartenstein, Austria on July 6-14, 1974. This volume attempts to illuminate phylogenetic relationships among living and fossil primates from a broad interdisciplinary viewpoint. It draws upon a variety of evidence from interrelated disciplines such as anatomy, embryology, paleontology, molecular biology and ethology. When this volume first appeared in 1975, it was trendsetting and changed the way researchers viewed primate phylogeny for the next 40+ years. No ownership marks and few signs of use. Light sunning to the spine of the dust jacket, a near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The past decade has witnessed a tremendous surge of interest in varied aspects of primate biology, encompassing virtually all disciplines of the biological sciences. Regardless of whether these studies have been approached from a paleontological, morphological, developmental, biochemical, neuroanatomical, or behavioral point of view, one under lying theme has been a common interest in the possible phylogenetic relationships suggested by the results of such studies. In some cases, sound taxonomic principles have not been followed in the interpretation of these data, and this has led to skepticism among many taxonomists with regard to the validity of some of the genealogical relationships and conclusions suggested by comparative studies of living primates. It is generally agreed that the fossil record alone provides the essential time dimension for directly observing changes in characteristics, but unfortunately this record is limited both in the number of genera represented and particularly in the incomplete nature of the available preserved material. On the other hand, extensive comparative analyses of numerous characteristics in living primates have provided additional insight into possible phylogenetic relationships, despite the lack of a time dimension. Such studies of both fossil and living primates are enhanced considerably by a cladistic analysis of the probable primitive (ancestral) or advanced (derived) condition of each character state discussed, based upon their distribution (and ontogeny, wherever possible) in a wide variety of primate and nonprimate taxa, including other eutherian mammals, marsupials, mono tremes, and reptiles.…
