Dispersing Primate Females Life History and Social Strategies in Male-Philopatric Species

To encourage further progress in this important field, this volume provides new insights on evolution of female dispersal by describing factors influencing variations in the dispersal pattern across primates and a hypothesis for the formation of human families from the perspectives of female life hi...
