Functional Affinities Of Man, Monkeys, And Apes A Study Of The Bearings Of Physiology And Behaviour On The Taxonomy And Phylogeny Of Lemurs, Monkeys, Man Routledge Library Editions Evolution

Originally published in 1933 Functional Affinities of Man, Monkeys and Apes gives a taxonomic and phylogenetic survey and the findings of diverse experimental investigations of lemurs, monkeys, and apes. The book discusses the inter-relationships of different Primates and emphasizes seldom-used approaches to the question of primate phylogeny. The book attempts to show how little they have been systematically tried, and argues for a regard to the proper place of functional investigations in the study of the classification and evolution of Primates. This book will be of interest to anthropologists, scientists and historians alike.
