Primate Ethology

This disparate series of chapters covers a number of topics of value to sociologists who are concerned with non-verbal communication: facial and sexual displays, social relations and social organization of monkeys and apes, and an analysis of the social behaviour of nursery school children.

--V. Reynolds, The British Journal of Sociology

This book contains ten previously unpublished essays on a variety of aspects of primate behavior... The work is of the careful and high quality characteristic of modern ethology.

--George Bateson, American Anthropologist

The profusely documented and elaborately illustrated Primate Ethology is a very rewarding book... Excellent illustrations and commendably accurate documentation make this book one which all scientists can safely take home in the knowledge that, after providing stimulating reading, it will remain for reference on their shelves.

--M. R. A. Chance, Man

The book contains some important original data... a number of... thoughtful revies and comparative articles by Van Hoof, ... Wickler, ... Sparks, ... and Loizos, ... and one new direction--an ethological study of nursery school children. There is a characteristic emphasis throughout on the detailed description of communicative motor patterns, an emphasis which renders the book particularly valuable to the specialist.

--Nicholas S. Thompson, The Quarterly Review of Biology

This book will be useful to primate behaviorists.
