ShapingPrimateEvolution
Form,Function,andBehavior
ShapingPrimateEvolutionisaneditedcollectionofstate-of-the-artpapers
about how biological form is described in primate biology, and the conse-
quences of form for function and behavior. The contributors are highly re-
garded,internationallyrecognizedscholarsinthefieldofquantitativeprimate
evolutionary morphology. Each chapter elaborates upon the analysis of the
form–function–behaviortriadinauniqueandcompellingway.Thisbookis
distinctive not only in the diversity of the topics discussed, but also in the
range of levels of biological organization that are addressed, from cellular
morphometricstotheevolutionofprimateecology.Thebookisdedicatedto
