Primate Dentition
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 54.00Primate Dentition is a comprehensive reference work on the teeth of extant primates that will serve as a benchmark for researchers in primatology, physical anthropology, comparative anatomy and vertebrate paleontology. more...
Human Senescence
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 34.00It is only comparatively recently in evolutionary terms that humans have developed late-life survival. Looking at anthropological, gerontological and biocultural evidence, Human Senescence explores why humans age only slowly over our lifespan, and what impacts this has on our health and lives today. more...
