Well, I'm an armchair student of primatology and physical anthro (you can't cover everything in only 4 years of college!) so I have not the capacity to give a true academically critical reading of this book...but I must say, I have really, really enjoyed reading and studying it & soaking up the information!

This is, flat-out, a textbook--it's not meant as a "fun" book about apes and monkeys.

If you haven't already got a passing fair (ok, in-depth) knowledge of mammalian anatomy to start with, you may well be lost.

But as a text I found it an easy, clear and concise read with helpful diagrams, charts and illustrations.

In short..if this author chose to update this work as more information becomes available, I'd buy it again. And again.

Although the book misses a lot of information on the anatomy of the pelvic girdle, it is a very good book, specially on the higher primates. It could have more details, it could be a bigger book.

This book is really nice. Is technic and talk about a lot of different monkeys and a lot of subjects. I purchased without any problem. I liked so much.
