5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of primate evolution, March 2, 2005
Dr. Simons, now a professor at Duke University, gives an excellent overview of primate evolution. This text is organized well, and it is useful tool for anyone interested in biological anthropology. Anyone taking his classes would find this very helpful!

The book includes the following chapters:
1. Geologic Setting
2. Evolutionary Biology
3. Interpretation of Fossils
4. Living Primates
5. The Extinct Malagasy Lemurs
6. The Archaic Prosimians
7. The First Primates of Modern Aspect
8. The Earliest Monkeys
9. Tertiary Apes, Oreopithecids, and Hominids
10. What Made Man?

Chapters 5-7 were my favorite because of their detailed descriptions of primates often excluded in the texts of intro classes. The writing style also makes it a good read. I highly recommend this book and his classes. He is by far one of the best professors I have ever had--his lectures are fascinating.
