Description
The study of primates in their natural environment is a relatively recent phenomenon. It is only since the 1970s that books, films, and scientific papers have presented a wealth of fascinating insights into the biology and lifestyle of these mountain- and forest-dwelling relatives of human beings. This recently acquired knowledge has provided the inspiration for Primates of the World.
