Alison Jolly's The Evolution of Primate Behavior presents a sweeping and authoritative account of how our closest animal relatives — from lemurs and monkeys to the great apes and humanity itself — came to exhibit the complex social and cognitive behaviors that define them, tracing the deep biological and environmental forces that have shaped primate life across millions of years of evolution. Jolly grounds her argument in rigorous fieldwork and comparative biology, illuminating how social structure, intelligence, and communication are not accidental traits but rather adaptive solutions to the profound pressures of survival and reproduction.\n\nA landmark contribution to primatology and behavioural science, this work argues with compelling clarity that the roots of human society are inseparable from our primate heritage. Jolly's prose is both accessible and scientifically precise, making complex evolutionary theory comprehensible without sacrificing intellectual depth. Written in the tradition of the great naturalists, this volume remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the biological origins of the social mind — and leaves the reader asking just how thin the boundary truly is between animal and human.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160896217307,"sku":"2026200013665-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/63c7ae28-ac37-4db4-80dc-fbc1fe7b5efc.png?v=1787188199","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013665-secondhand-the-evolution-of-primate-behavior","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
