All Apes Great and Small, Volume 1: African Apes

Many of the papers in this volume were first presented at the Third International Great Apes of the World Conference, held July 3-6, 1998 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. The papers (by the world's premier primatologists, ethologists and anthropologists) present the most recent research on both captive and free-ranging African great apes. With forests disappearing, many of these studies will never be duplicated.
`The human race originated in Africa, from where it spread to all corners of the world. The remaining African primates, especially the apes, provide clues about our evolution. In this volume, some of the world's leading experts show us both what is fascinating about these animals and why we should be extremely worried about their future.' Frans de Waal
