Description
Summary:This work is a presentation of hypotheses that are believed to have broad implications in anthropology and biology (e.g., the expensive tissue hypothesis and evolution of the brain), but it also provides evaluation and synthesis of the data that bear on these hypotheses. The book provides a general introduction to taxonomy (for example, the Platyrrhines) along with a discussion of the variations that may characterize groups within the taxonomy.
