Review: Primate Diversity

User Review  - Sierra - Goodreads

A nice taxon-by-taxon natural history overview of primate species, but without much of a synthesis. A great introductory-level text for primatology, but, again, not much synthesis or over-arching analysis. The Neural Notes segments are great. Read full review

About the author (2000)

Dean Falk is professor of anthropology at Florida State University and honorary professor of human biology at the University of Vienna. Since receiving her Ph.D. in biological anthropology from the University of Michigan in 1976, her research has focused on early hominids, brain evolution, comparative neuroanatomy, and cognitive evolution (including language origins). Research on cranial blood flow and australopithecine endocasts led Falk to develop the "radiator theory" of brain evolution and to question the conventional interpretations of certain fossils. Falk is the author of Braindance: New Discoveries About Human Origins and Brain Evolution .
