Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Montgomery argues that the general public’s ravenous interest in primate research (and what it might or might not tell us about being human) provided scientists with both a boon and a burden. Public fascination created a ready audience for primatologists’ research findings but also necessitated a constant struggle against popular myths. In her cogently argued, highly readable book, Montgomery explores this dual nature through a series of engaging episodes from Darwin to the present."" —Erika Milam, Princeton University, author of Looking for a Few Good Males: Female Choice in Evolutionary Biology.
