Humans views of other primates include myths and legends, accounts of early European naturalists, artistic interpretations, and natural histories, anatomical studies and collections. This book synthesizes all these different perspectives and reveals something about our perceived place in the natural world. The international team of contributors provides an integrative rendering of primates and fills a unique niche. It will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students as well as to scholars of different disciplines such as history of science, natural science, comparative anatomy, biology, anthropology, sociology, ethnoprimatology, paleontology and anthrozoology among others.
