Apes and human evolution / Russell H. Tuttle. - 1 online resource (xiv, 1056 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color), maps)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 691-1015) and index.

Mongrel models and seductive scenarios of human evolution -- Apes in space -- Apes in time -- Taproot and branches of our family tree -- Apes in motion -- Several ways to achieve erection -- Hungry and sleepy apes -- Hunting apes and mutualism -- Handy apes -- Mental apes -- Social, antisocial, and sexual apes -- Communicative apes -- Language, culture, ideology, spirituality, and morality.

In this masterwork, Russell H. Tuttle synthesizes a vast research literature in primate evolution and behavior to explain how apes and humans evolved in relation to one another, and why humans became a bipedal, tool-making, culture-inventing species distinct from other hominoids. This encyclopedic volume is both a milestone in primatological research and a critique of what is known and yet to be discovered about human and ape potential.
