Granta Books Our Inner Ape: The Best And Worst Of Human Nature
Book SynopsisWe have long attributed man's violent, aggressive, competitive nature to his animal ancestry. But what if we are just as given to cooperation, empathy and morality by virtue of our genes? From a scientist and writer whom E. O. Wilson has called 'the world authority on primate social behavior' comes a lively look at the most provocative aspects of human nature - power, sex, violence, kindness, and morality - through our two closest cousins in the ape family. For nearly twenty years, Frans de Waal has worked with both the famously aggressive chimpanzee and the lesser-known egalitarian, erotic, matriarchal bonobo, two species whose DNA is nearly identical to that of humans. He brings these apes to life on every page, revealing their personalities, relationships and power struggles, creating an engrossing narrative that explores what their behaviour can teach us about ourselves and each other.Trade ReviewAn eagerly awaited publishing event... a revealing picture of the inner ape- what lies inside each and every one of us' Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape 'A profoundly illuminating book on humans by a great primatologist' John Gray 'De Waal's prose is as elegant and engrossing as ever' BBC Wildlife magazine 'De Waal's love for the apes comes through strongly in his warm, well written description...

HarperCollins Publishers The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals
Book SynopsisThe definitive edition of Darwin's classic a brilliantly entertaining and accessible exploration of human and animal behaviour, reissued to mark the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth.Why do we bite people we feel affection towards? Why do dogs wag their tails? Or cats purr? Why do we get embarrassed, and why does embarrassment make us blush? These and many other questions about the emotional life of man and animals are answered in this remarkable book.Expression is the only book in which Darwin sketches out his revolutionary ideas about human behaviour in detail: he discusses childhood learning, insanity, painting and sculpture, animal behaviour and the differences in facial expression of the world's peoples.Trade Review‘This is Darwin’s most readable and human book, full of enchanting observations, provocative theories and remarkable photographs. This splendid new edition of Expression will introduce a new generation of readers to Darwin’s masterpiece, undiminished and intensely relevant even 125 years after publication.’Oliver Sacks, author of The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat ‘The Expression of the Emotions predates Freud, and it will still be illuminating human psychology long after Freud’s discrediting is complete.’Richard Dawkins, author of The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion ‘The appearance of this new edition of Darwin’s extraordinary book is a major event in the human sciences. Here Darwin reminds us of his astonishing gifts of observation and explanation, offering insights that are delightful and fresh over a century later. Paul Ekman’s reconstruction of this edition is an act of great scholarship. Everyone interested in emotion – and who isn’t? – should be grateful to Ekman for this book.’Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct

Harvard University Press Apes and Human Evolution
Book SynopsisRussell Tuttle synthesizes a vast 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. He refutes the theory that we are sophisticated, instinctively aggressive and destructive killer apes.Trade ReviewLike the late Stephen Jay Gould’s magisterial Structure of Evolutionary Theory, Tuttle’s tome is a grand synthesis of all the latest research and data about apes and their relation to us… But lest you think it is intended chiefly for colleagues in the fields of anthropology and evolutionary biology, Tuttle’s style throughout is crisp and often witty. -- John Farrell * Forbes *Witty, readable, compendious, learned, and judicious, Russell Tuttle’s big new book offers every reader a thorough survey of the biology and evolution of apes, including humans and their ancestors. For scientists, it will be an invaluable resource and a treasury of unfamiliar facts and challenging ideas. -- Matt Cartmill, Professor of Anthropology, Boston UniversityIn this masterly overview, Tuttle interprets human evolution through detailed comparisons with our closest zoological relatives, the apes. This is a truly monumental treatise, not only in scope but particularly because of the depth of scholarship that has been brought to bear. Drawing on a lifetime of study focusing on anatomy but also including behavior and ecology, this is destined to become a classic reference work. -- Robert D. Martin, A. Watson Armour III Curator of Biological Anthropology, The Field Museum, ChicagoA rare accomplishment. Apes and Human Evolution is an unusually fine contribution to the field and will foster great interest in any reader. -- Duane Rumbaugh, Regents Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Language Research Center, Georgia State UniversityTuttle provides both a synthesis and a history of the evolution of one of the most interesting species of all: ourselves. An impressive achievement, written by an authority on the topic. -- Karen B.

Vintage Publishing A Primate's Memoir: Love, Death and Baboons
Book SynopsisDiscover this remarkable account of twenty-one years in remote Kenya with a troop of Savannah baboons from the New York Times bestselling author of Behave.'One of the best scientist-writers of our time' Oliver SacksBrooklyn-born Robert Sapolsky grew up wishing he could live in the primate diorama in the Museum of Natural History. At school he wrote fan letters to primatologists and even taught himself Swahili, all with the hope of one day joining his primate brethren in Africa. But when, at the age of twenty-one, Sapolky's dream finally comes true he discovers that the African bush bears little resemblance to the tranquillity of a museum. This is the story of the next twenty-one years as Sapolsky slowly infiltrates and befriends a troop of Savannah baboons. Alone in the middle of the Serengeti with no electricity, running water or telephone, and surviving countless scams, culinary atrocities and a surreal kidnapping, Sapolsky becomes ever more enamoured with his adopted baboon troop - unique and compelling characters in their own right - and he returns to them summer after summer, until tragedy finally prevails. 'A Primate's Memoir is the closest the baboon is likely to come - and it's plenty close enough - to having its own Iliad' New York Times Review of BooksExhilarating, hilarious and poignant, A Primate's Memoir is a uniquely honest window into the coming-of-age of one of our greatest scientific minds.Trade ReviewOne of the most engrossing, exhilarating and irreverent books on Africa and its wildlife ever published * Financial Times *Smart, stylish, distinctive...

Pegasus Books Between Ape and Human: An Anthropologist on the
Book SynopsisA remarkable investigation into the hominoids of Flores Island, their place on the evolutionary spectrum—and whether or not they still survive.While doing fieldwork on the remote Indonesian island of Flores, anthropologist Gregory Forth came across people talking about half-apelike, half-humanlike creatures that once lived in a cave on the slopes of a nearby volcano. Over the years he continued to record what locals had to say about these mystery hominoids while searching for ways to explain them as imaginary symbols of the wild or other cultural representations. Then along came the ‘hobbit’. In 2003, several skeletons of a small-statured early human species alongside stone tools and animal remains were excavated in a cave in western Flores. Named Homo floresiensis, this ancient hominin was initially believed to have lived until as recently as 12,000 years ago—possibly overlapping with the appearance of Homo sapiens on Flores. In view of this timing and the striking resemblance of floresiensis to the mystery creatures described by the islanders, Forth began to think about the creatures as possibly reflecting a real species, either now extinct but retained in ‘cultural memory’ or even still surviving. He began to investigate reports from the Lio region of the island where locals described 'ape-men' as still living. Dozens claimed to have even seen them. In Between Ape and Human, we follow Forth on the trail of this mystery hominoid, and the space they occupy in islanders’ culture as both natural creatures and as supernatural beings. In a narrative filled with adventure, Lio culture and language, zoology and natural history, Forth comes to a startling and controversial conclusion. Unique, important, and thought-provoking, this book will appeal to anyone interested in human evolution, the survival of species (including our own) and how humans might relate to ‘not-quite-human’ animals. Between Ape and Human is essential reading for all those interested in cryptozoology, and it is the only firsthand investigation by a leading anthropologist into the possible survival of a primitive species of human into recent times—and its coexistence with modern humans.Trade Review“Well-written and entertaining. Between Ape and Human tells not just the story of Homo floresiensis. It tells a story of how we perceive nature and how people deal with the unknown. It is as much about the science of our human relatives as it is about human nature and how we view the world. Forth compellingly grapples with how to interpret these observations and what they mean in the real world.” -- Rob DeSalle, American Museum of Natural History, author of A Natural History of Color"Between Ape and Human is fascinating reading for someone who understands that, while archeology trades in materials science and in firm estimates of dates and purpose, anthropology is about conversations and culture...[Forth] presents a record of the puzzling information that he collected and then sets out the anthropologist’s own ideas about whether the modern-day Flores hobbits descend directly from the ancient ones. If you’re in the mood for an adventure, you might want to read the book." * Forbes Magazine *

Book SynopsisTrade Review"A brilliant and fascinating book that brings a scientific, compassionate and balanced approach to some of the hottest controversies about sex and gender." -- Yuval Noah Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens"This book is superb! Frans de Waal is not only one of the world’s most respected primatologists—he’s also a ballsy feminist who, in these riveting pages, ventures into territory where most writers in academia and letters fear to tread.… These pages are packed with great stories, fascinating data, and thought-provoking ideas. They are sure to spark the important conversations we all—male and female, queer and straight, trans and nonbinary—need to have to create a more just and equitable human society." -- Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus"Moving with fluidity and grace between animal and human models, Frans de Waal demonstrates how many common social prejudices that we deem ‘natural’ are in fact anything but. His crisp writing, his skillful deployment of anecdote, and his deep knowledge of animal science inform this nuanced and profound consideration not only of difference but also of sameness." -- Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree and The Noonday Demon"It is a brave man these days who ventures into the minefield of gender differences. But Frans de Waal relies on a gift for storytelling, a sincere respect for culture, along with intimate knowledge of longtime bonobo and chimpanzee associates to deftly negotiate this treacherous terrain. Wise and humane." -- Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, author of The Woman that Never Evolved, Mother Nature, and Mothers and Others"The current debate on the subject of gender differences is in need of a calm biological assessment which Frans de Waal’s thoughtful book Different gives us." -- Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape: A Zoologist’s Study of the Human Animal"Women versus men. Sex versus gender. Biology versus social inculcation. Few domains more effectively tempt fools to rush in than the topic of sex differences. In this case, however, rather than being a fool, Frans de Waal is our wisest primatologist, turning his attention to this irresistible topic. With great clarity, insight, and wit, he examines human sex differences, never once letting us forget that, at the end of the day, we are just another kind of primate. This is a superb, intensely stimulating read." -- Robert M. Sapolsky, author of Behave"[de Waal] argue[s] with wit and clarity against assumptions about sex and gender that generate inequality.... Engaging, enlightening, and deeply informative." -- Kirkus, starred review"Fascinating.... De Waal shines in his empathetic, Tolstoyan portrait of animal life.... This surprising look at the nature of primates has a lot to say about what it means to be human." -- Publishers Weekly

Oxford University Press, USA How Homo Became Sapiens On the evolution of thinking On the evolution of thinking
Book SynopsisOur ability to think is one of our most puzzling characteristics. What it would be like to be unable to think? What would it be like to lack self-awareness? The complexity of this activity is striking. Thinking involves the interaction of a range of mental processes - attention, emotion, memory, planning, self-consciousness, free will, and language. So where did these processes arise? What evolutionary advantages were bestowed upon those with an ability to deceive, to plan, to empathize, or to understand the intentions of others? In this compelling work, Peter Gärdenfors embarks on an evolutionary detective story to try and solve one of the big mysteries surrounding human existence - how has the modern human being''s way of thinking come into existence. He starts by taking in turn the more basic cognitive processes, such as attention and memory, then builds upon these to explore more complex behaviours, such as self-consciousness, mindreading, and imitation. Having done this, he examines the consequences of putting thought into the world, using external media like cave paintings, drawings and writing.Immensely readable and humorous, the book will be valuable for students in psychology and biology, whilst remaining accessible to readers of popular science.Trade ReviewGardenfors presents a wealth of thought-provoking information and discussion, with a well-argued viewpoint, in a clear style. * JBE, Vol. 40, No. 4 *. . . well written and admirably succinct.

Book SynopsisRelates the story of a juvenile gorilla named Pongo, brought to Europe in 1876 and housed at the Unter den Linden Aquarium in Berlin. Examines human-animal interactions and science at a time when the theory of evolution was first gaining ground.Trade Review“Haikal has, with brevity, drawn together around one animal important issues relating to nineteenth-century scientific interest in primates; ideas about gorillas in popular culture and imagination; the nature of zoos and animal exhibition; the popular, scientific, and civic politics and economics of such exhibitions; and the relationships between natural history, exploration, and the colonial enterprise at the time. This is no mere story of a gorilla.”—Garry Marvin,University of Roehampton“Haikal’s history of the small, sleepy, playful little gorilla who became known as Master Pongo shows how a single animal could challenge expectations and change the way Western scientists and the general public thought about these enigmatic creatures.

University of California Press The Ghosts of Gombe
Book SynopsisOn July 12, 1969, Ruth Davis, a young American volunteer at Dr. Jane Goodall's famous chimpanzee research camp in the Gombe Stream National Park of Tanzania, East Africa, walked out of camp to follow a chimpanzee into the forest. Six days later, her body was found floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. With careful detail,The Ghosts of Gombereveals for the first time the full story of day-to-day life in Goodall's wilderness campthe people and the animals, the stresses and excitements, the social conflicts and cultural alignments, and the astonishing friendships that developed between three of the researchers and some of the chimpanzeesduring the months preceding that tragic event. Was Ruth's death an accident? Did she jump? Was she pushed? In an extended act of literary forensics, Goodall biographer Dale Peterson examines how Ruth's death might have happened and explores some of the painful sequelae that haunted two of the survivors for the rest of their lives.Trade Review"Jane Goodall’s research center on the shores of a Tanzanian lake pulsates with the passions, perils, and promises of the 1960s in Dale Peterson’s The Ghosts of Gombe." * Foreword *"It’s challenging to put together a complete picture so long after they happened, but Peterson uses letters, camp records, and personal accounts to tell the story artfully... Jane Goodall has spent a lifetime trying to understand the behaviors and relationships of the apes in Tanzania.

Harvard University Press Tree of Origin
Book SynopsisNine of the world's top primate experts compose the most extensive picture to date of what the behavior of monkeys and apes can tell us about our own evolution as a species.Trade ReviewHuman behavior today is so unfathomable and complex that it's hard to relate it to influences from the remote past. But if you want a source that cogently discusses human intelligence in the context of the behavior of other primates, Tree of Origin is the place to turn. -- Ian Tattersall, Curator, American Museum of Natural History and author of Becoming HumanThe last few decades have seen enormous progress in the study of primate behavior. Nine of the world's leading experts team up to tell us what it all means, throwing new light on human evolution. -- Jane GoodallIn Tree of Origin, primatologists speak out about the evolution of human behavior. After decades of hard work - all those hours in the sun, all those days of stomping though forests, all those years of watching monkeys and apes - they have come to provocative conclusions about how the behavior of our closest relatives informs our own lives. This book is the bridge between our past and our present. -- Meredith Small, author of Kids: How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Raise Our ChildrenAre we so separate from our nearest relatives that studying apes' behavior has nothing to teach us about ourselves? Or does watching how apes interact socially give us clues about our own evolution? The authors come down solidly on the side of the applicability of primate studies to the study of humans. Growing from a 1997 conference on human evolution, this selection of nine essays by working primatologists include speculations about the origins of human social evolution from the perspective of their studies on other primates...All of the essays are accessible to the general reader. * Booklist *[An] enlightening discussion of how scientists' ideas about human forebears have been shaped--and perhaps led astray--by extrapolations from intensive study of a few primates.

Harvard University Press Apes Monkeys Children and the Growth of Mind
Book SynopsisIn this fascinating introduction to primate minds, Gómez identifies evolutionary resemblances—and differences—between human children and other primates. He argues that primate minds are best understood not as fixed collections of specialized cognitive capacities, but instead as a range of abilities that can surpass their original adaptations.Trade ReviewThis is an important book that brings together information not otherwise readily available in concise form. Students and investigators interested in the origins of cognition will benefit from [it]. -- John D. Newman * Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease *Juan Carlos Gómez’s working thesis in Apes, Monkeys, Children, and the Growth of Mind is that ‘our minds are part of a wider evolutionary pattern discernible in the minds of other primates’. He aims to learn about our human minds, both how they originated and what their nature is, by looking at experimental studies with other primates. The book is a delightfully dense account of a wide range of such studies. This exploration into the historical and evolutionary heritage of the last great mystery—the human mind—is enlightening, informative, and simply a wonderful reminder of how complex evolutionary variation really is… The author should be lauded for his attempts to examine such difficult topics—the nature and origin of the human mind is difficult enough to approach, and an evolutionary perspective that approaches the topic through cognitive ethology was much needed. This review of the literature fills an important gap while being wonderfully engaging and informative. However, in a book ostensibly written to show our very fundamental connection with other primates on an evolutionary continuum, it instead serves to show not just the unique character of human experience and action, but the similarly unique character of a dozen other primate species, both far and near to us on the evolutionary tree. It opens up new questions in many areas, which, philosophically speaking, is a job well done. -- Robin L. Zebrowski * Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences *Amazing progress has been made in the past few years in the study of primate cognition. Juan Carlos Gómez documents this progress in a masterful and beautifully written book that will delight expert and novice alike. -- Michael Tomasello, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, author of Constructing a Language: A Usage-Based Theory of Language Acquisition

Harvard University Press The Primate Mind
Book SynopsisProminent neuroscientists, psychologists, ethologists, and primatologists from around the world take a bottom-up approach to primate social behavior by investigating how the primate mind connects with other minds and exploring the shared neurological basis for imitation, joint action, and empathy as well as their evolutionary foundations.Trade ReviewPresents an authoritative, surprising and enriching picture of our monkey and ape cousins...The Primate Mind suggests that it may not be the capacity to imitate, but the motivation to do so that sets us apart from other animals. Like all good suggestions, this opens the door to more questions about the mechanisms and evolution of such motivation--and, ultimately, about how our own social minds evolved from the deeply interconnected minds of our primate cousins. -- Christian Keysers * Nature *[The Primate Mind] showcases cutting-edge thinking about primate psychology and neurology...Even for non-specialists, The Primate Mind offers the excitement of seeing science begin to offer concrete answers to such fundamental and ancient human questions. -- Adam Kirsch * Barnes & Noble Review *The research represented in this book clearly pushes the boundaries of what is known about how primates think, feel, and view the world and others around them. Overall, the book provides a wealth of fascinating and intriguing insights into primate minds. -- S. C. Baker * Choice *

Book SynopsisThis astounding work brings professional investigative abilities and forensic artistry to the field of Bigfoot studies. This astounding work brings professional investigative abilities and forensic artistry to the field of Bigfoot studies. David Paulides, a former police investigator, has applied his skills to questioning Bigfoot witnesses. The results he has achieved in gaining access to witnesses and getting detailed information from them is both remarkable and intriguing. Furthermore, he commissioned a forensic police artist to meet with witnesses and sketch the creatures they saw. These drawings provide insights into the creature''s nature never before realized. The result of this team''s work is by far one of the most convincing accounts ever written on Bigfoot. The conclusion reached - that this creature, long revered by the Hoopa people, definitely inhabits the forested regions of Humboldt County in Northern California - is so convincing that those people who doubt Bigfoot''s ex

The Russian vision is presented within this book. Bigfoot is a familiar word today around the world. Since the middle of the last century it indicates a mysterious giant primate of North America, who is also called Sasquatch. The Russian vision of this research is distinguished by at least three peculiarities: it is based on the combined evidence regarding these primates; it regards these humanlike beings as relict hominids (hominins by latest primate classification), i.e., the closest relatives of modern man, Homo sapiens; and it firmly takes the existence of these still enigmatic bipeds for a biological fact, not a popular myth or a scientific hypothesis. The purpose of the book is to substantiate these views and claims. The main philosophic question posed by it: What is it to be human?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Primates
Book SynopsisThis book is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to primates. It provides both a survey and synthesis of primate history, biology, and behavior. As a survey, it offers a focused review of living and extinct primates in regional and community frameworks. As a synthesis, it applies the community perspective in a unique way to explore primates' adaptive diversity in the context of how evolution works. The book encourages students to study primates as integrated members of regional communities, ecologically, historically, and evolutionarily.The chapters are organized to emphasize the patterns of primate radiations in the four regions of the world where primates live, and to facilitate comparisons among the radiations. The overviews of communities illustrate how the ecological adaptations of different species and taxonomic or phylogenetic groups enable them to coexist. Illustrations and tools to aid students' learning include case studies, photographs, figures, tables, chTrade Review"Rosenberger offers an exciting new take on a survey of nonhuman primates, focusing on continental radiations and the biology and evolutionary history that unites them. In so doing, he provides a rigorous discussion of the anatomical, behavioral, and ecological features that differentiate primate taxa but within the familiar framework of geography rather than taxonomy, which is likely more palatable for undergraduates. A unique and effective approach!" - Larissa Swedell, Professor and Chair, Queens College"This book is a must read for undergraduate and graduate students seeking to understand how evolution, ecology, and adaptation have shaped the behavior and biology of our closest living relatives, the nonhuman primates. Information on all seven major primate radiations is presented in a concise and understandable format, scientific concepts are clearly defined and explained, and examples relating primate form and function serve to illustrate the diverse ways that individual species exploit their social and ecological environments. Each chapter also includes a set of questions for discussion. The volume ends with the sober realization that the majority of primate species are threatened with extinction, along with the optimistic message that if we choose to live sustainably and act now, we can save lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, galagos, monkeys, and apes from extinction." - Paul A. Garber, Professor Emeritus, Department of Anthropology, University of Illinois"Rosenberger delivers a robust (and in my opinion, long overdue) text for the world of primatology. Primates: An Introduction concentrates on the key concepts in primatology, highlighting the diversity of species from an evolutionary perspective. Packing in complex topics in an easy-to-digest style, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in nonhuman primates. Whether one is a novice or an expert in the field, this comprehensive source is the perfect go-to reference for students and scholars ... In sum, not only do I highly recommend this book to anyone inclined to learn about our closest relatives, I suggest that this book or chapters of it be added to the “required readings” list of all primatology and introductory biological anthropology courses pertaining to human evolution." - Rose M.

Random House USA Inc The Goodness Paradox
Book Synopsis“A fascinating new analysis of human violence, filled with fresh ideas and gripping evidence from our primate cousins, historical forebears, and contemporary neighbors.”—Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our NatureWe Homo sapiens can be the nicest of species and also the nastiest. What occurred during human evolution to account for this paradox? What are the two kinds of aggression that primates are prone to, and why did each evolve separately? How does the intensity of violence among humans compare with the aggressive behavior of other primates? How did humans domesticate themselves? And how were the acquisition of language and the practice of capital punishment determining factors in the rise of culture and civilization?Authoritative, provocative, and engaging, The Goodness Paradox offers a startlingly original theory of how, in the last 250 million years, humankind became an increasingly peaceful species in daily interactions even as its capacity for coolly planned and devastating violence remains undiminished. In tracing the evolutionary histories of reactive and proactive aggression, biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham forcefully and persuasively argues for the necessity of social tolerance and the control of savage divisiveness still haunting us today.

WW Norton & Co Different Gender Through the Eyes of a
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Adds an important evolutionary dimension to one of the most complex issues of our time.... The beauty of a book by Frans de Waal is that once you read it, you’ll never look at your own species the same way again." -- Tamra Mendelson - Washington Post"A game-changer.... De Waal’s prose is concise and straightforward. His sensitivity to the prevailing zeitgeist that surrounds sex and gender is evident.... There’s no end, in fact, to the fascinating details that emerge from this book, all carefully tied to supporting explanations, historical context, the prevalence of misinformation, the tendency to censor, the power of mindless biological determinism, and whatever else might be necessary for de Waal to make his point. Humor, and the curious anecdote, are never far behind.... Different is a towering achievement." -- Paul R. Abramson - Los Angeles Review of Books"Different has many surprises in store for you, surprises that will leave you humble about complex primate evolution has been, surprises that will leave you humble about complex primate evolution has been, and how much we have yet to learn about how it shapes our lives." -- Carl Zimmer - New York Times Book Review"A smart interactionist framework, in which biological and socioenvironmental influences on human behavior are entwined." -- Barbara J. King - Science"Dive into Frans de Waal’s magnum opus.... brilliant." -- Carol Tavris - Times Literary Supplement"Entrancing.... de Waal brings to life the complexity of sex and social behaviour in other apes.... Whether or not you agree with him, Different is worth reading for its anecdotes alone." -- Laura Spinney - The Guardian"A brilliant and fascinating book that brings a scientific, compassionate and balanced approach to some of the hottest controversies about sex and gender." -- Yuval Noah Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens"This book is superb! Frans de Waal is not only one of the world’s most respected primatologists—he’s also a ballsy feminist who, in these riveting pages, ventures into territory where most writers in academia and letters fear to tread.… These pages are packed with great stories, fascinating data, and thought-provoking ideas. They are sure to spark the important conversations we all—male and female, queer and straight, trans and nonbinary—need to have to create a more just and equitable human society." -- Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus"Moving with fluidity and grace between animal and human models, Frans de Waal demonstrates how many common social prejudices that we deem ‘natural’ are in fact anything but. His crisp writing, his skillful deployment of anecdote, and his deep knowledge of animal science inform this nuanced and profound consideration not only of difference but also of sameness." -- Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree and The Noonday Demon"It is a brave man these days who ventures into the minefield of gender differences. But Frans de Waal relies on a gift for storytelling, a sincere respect for culture, along with intimate knowledge of longtime bonobo and chimpanzee associates to deftly negotiate this treacherous terrain. Wise and humane." -- Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, author of The Woman that Never Evolved, Mother Nature, and Mothers and Others"The current debate on the subject of gender differences is in need of a calm biological assessment which Frans de Waal’s thoughtful book Different gives us." -- Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape: A Zoologist’s Study of the Human Animal"Every new book by Frans de Waal is a cause for excitement, and this one is no different. A breath of fresh air in the cramped debate about the differences between men and women. Fascinating, nuanced and very timely." -- Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind: A Hopeful History"Women versus men. Sex versus gender. Biology versus social inculcation. Few domains more effectively tempt fools to rush in than the topic of sex differences. In this case, however, rather than being a fool, Frans de Waal is our wisest primatologist, turning his attention to this irresistible topic. With great clarity, insight, and wit, he examines human sex differences, never once letting us forget that, at the end of the day, we are just another kind of primate. This is a superb, intensely stimulating read." -- Robert M. Sapolsky, author of Behave"[de Waal] argue[s] with wit and clarity against assumptions about sex and gender that generate inequality.... Engaging, enlightening, and deeply informative." -- Kirkus, starred review"Fascinating.... De Waal shines in his empathetic, Tolstoyan portrait of animal life.... This surprising look at the nature of primates has a lot to say about what it means to be human." -- Publishers Weekly

Nova Science Publishers Inc Nonhuman Primate Models in Preclinical Research:
Book SynopsisDue to the phylogenetic relationship and close genetic and biological similarities with humans, non-human primates (NHP) are regularly used in biomedical and behavioural research. However, because of their highly developed cognitive abilities and social skills, the use of these animals in biomedical research is debated more and more. Although it is acknowledged that in specific research areas NHP are still essential, it is recognised that the use of these animals can only be done under strict conditions under the most optimal welfare aspects. Welfare aspects include housing conditions, non-invasive methods and application of the 3Rs policy. Although many refinement methods have been described in nationally and internationally accepted guidelines on animal laboratory practice, recognition of the guidelines is unfortunately not universal. The present book covers a wide range of NHP models in preclinical research and welfare issues. The following chapters will cover: refinement of the use of NHP in biomedical research; NHP ethics and regulations in Europe; biological basis differences in the human and NHP; the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) immunology in NHP; stem cell biology in NHP; neuro and gliogenesis in an NHP ischemia stroke model; NHP models in autoimmune disease, organ transplantation and infectious disease research; viral diseases in NHP; NHP models in Parkinson's disease, in neurodegenerative disorders research and in cardio-cerebrovascular disease research; islet transplantation; ophthalmic diseases research and neurophysiology in NHP; transgenic engineering in NHP; NHP models of cancers; NHP models in respiratory disease research; NHP models in clinical and non-clinical pharmacology; NHP models in lung transplantation; and aging research in NHP. This book encapsulates a large volume of knowledge scientists have achieved in the field of nonhuman primate models in preclinical research. The editors have invited experts from the United States, Canada, and Europe to contribute 23 chapters in their respective fields of their expertise.Table of ContentsForeword; Preface; Refinement of the Care and Use of NHPs in Biomedical Research; Ethics and Legal Regulation of Nonhuman primates (NHPs) in Canada; The Use of Nonhuman Primates: Ethics and Regulations in Europe; Biological Basic Differences in the Human and NHPs; MHC In NHP: From the Perspective of Immunogenetics; Nonhuman Primate Stem Cell Biology; NHP Models for Influenza; Non-Human Primate Models of Human Autoimmune Diseases; Nonhuman Primate Models in Organ Transplantation; Modelling Malaria in NHPs Between 1900-2000; Viral Diseases in NHPs; NHP Models in Neurodegenerative Disorders Research; Nonhuman Primate Models of Parkinsons Disease: Improvement in the Understanding of PD Progress and Development of Novel Therapy; NHP Models of Cardio-Cerebrovascular Diseases Research; Nonhuman Primate Models for Beta Cell Replacement in Diabetes Research; Overview of Imaging Modalities for Nonhuman Primates; Genetic Engineering in Nonhuman Primates and its Impact on Medical Science; The Role of Nonhuman Primate (NHP) in Drug Safety Assessment; The Nonhuman Primate as a Unique Model to Understand the Pathogenesis of Human Endometriosis; NHP Models of Cancers; Nonhuman Primates in Non-Clinical Development and Translational Research of Medicinal Products and Devices; Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Models in Lung Transplantation; Aging Research in Nonhuman Primates; Index.
