Life and Death in the Gombe Chimpanzees Skeletal Analysis as an Insi
This book addresses how skeletons can inform us about behavior by describing skeletal lesions in the Gombe chimpanzees, relating them to known life histories whenever possible, and analyzing demographic patterns in the sample. This is of particular intere

Life and Death in the Gombe Chimpanzees Skeletal Analysis as an Insight into Life History
Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects Series Editor: Louise Barrett
This book series melds the facts of organic diversity with the continuity of the evolutionary process. The volumes in this series will exemplify the diversity of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches currently employed by primatologists and physical anthropologists. Specific coverage includes primate behavior in natural habitats and captive settings; primate ecology and conservation; functional morphology and developmental biology of primates; primate systematics; genetic and phenotypic differences among living primates and paleoprimatology.
