THE EVOLUTION OF THE PRIMATE HAND GEBUNDEN

This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology  both
general function with specialization  and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some
clades and yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters  different authors
have addressed a variety of specific questions and provided their perspectives  but all explore
the main themes described above to provide an overarching primitive primate hand thread to the
book. Each chapter provides an in-depth review and critical account of the available literature
a balanced interpretation of the evidence from a variety of perspectives  and prospects for
future research questions. In order to make this a useful resource for researchers at all
levels  the basic structure of each chapter is the same  so that information can be easily
consulted from chapter to chapter. An extensive reference list is provided at the end of each
chapter so the reader has additional resources to address more specific questions or to find
specific data.
