But they also kill and eat their kin, in this case the red colobus monkey, which may say something about primate--even hominid--evolution. This book, the first long-term field study of a predator-prey relationship involving two wild primates, documents a six-year investigation into how the risk of predation molds primate society. Taking us to Gombe National Park in Tanzania, a place made famous by Jane Goodall's studies, the book offers a close look at how predation by wild chimpanzees--observable in the park as nowhere else--has influenced the behavior, ecology, and demography of a population of red colobus monkeys. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs he explores the effects of chimpanzees' hunting, Craig Stanford also asks why these creatures prey on the red colobus. Because chimpanzees are often used as models of how early humans may have lived, Stanford's findings offer insight into the possible role of early hominids as predators, a little understood aspect of human evolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first book-length study in a newly emerging genre of primate field study, \u003ci\u003eChimpanzee and Red Colobus \u003c\/i\u003eexpands our understanding of not just these two primate societies, but also the evolutionary ecology of predators and prey in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Stanford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674007220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674007222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 5.60w x 0.89d","brand":"Craig Stanford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054242459903,"sku":"9780674007222","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18769552-d54f-45d1-b736-2c75d395af55.jpg?v=1685028835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chimpanzee-and-red-colobus-craig-b-stanford-9780674007222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
