Reviewing and expanding upon recent research into lemur behavioural traits, this comparative study analyses links between lemurs, primates and humans. Suitable for both experts and non-experts, this book attempts to break the conceptual walls between primate taxa to encourage further research into ancestral traits between primates and humans.
