Abstract

Franse vertaling van het oorspronkelijk in het Engels verschenen werk van de gerenommeerde primatologe, feministe en overtuigd aanhanger van de sociobiologie, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy. In haar studie stelt Hrdy de vrouwelijke primaten centraal. Ze beschrijft uitvoerig de ontelbare variaties in relaties tussen de seksen bij primaten en analyseert de mogelijke betekenissen ervan. Ze benadrukt dat observaties van mensapen niet als geïsoleerde gegevens mogen beschouwd worden, maar dat ze in hun particuliere ecologische context moeten geplaatst worden. Ze keert zich tegen de gangbare visie binnen de sociobiologie die mannetjes beschrijft als superieur - moediger, intelligenter, competitiever - aan vrouwtjes en die deze laatsten hoofdzakelijk een reproductieve rol toedicht. Op basis van talloze observaties is Hrdy tot de vaststelling gekomen dat het stereotiepe beeld van vrouwelijke primaten, als moeders die door mannetjes beschermd worden, volledig onjuist is. Integendeel, vrouwtjesapen vormen een groep waarbinnen meer diversiteit dan homogeniteit bestaat en bovendien zijn het bijzonder competitieve, sociaal actieve en seksueel assertieve individuen.

Abstract

Comparative studies have become both more frequent and more important as a means for understanding the biology, behaviour and evolution of mammals. Primates have complex social relationships and diverse ecologies, and represent a large species radiation. This book draws together a wide range of experts from fields as diverse as reproductive biology and foraging energetics to place recent field research into a synthetic perspective. The chapters tackle controversial issues in primate biology and behaviour, including the role of brain expansion and infanticide in the evolution of primate behavioural strategies. The book also presents an overview of comparative methodologies as applied to recent primate research which will provide new approaches to comparative research. It will be of particular interest to primatologists, behavioural ecologists and those interested in the evolution of human social behaviour.

Abstract

The emergence of the genus Homo is widely linked to the colonization of 'new' highly seasonal savannah habitats. However, until recently, our understanding of the possible impact of seasonality on this shift has been limited because we have little general knowledge of how seasonality affects the lives of primates. This 2005 book documents the extent of seasonality in food abundance in tropical woody vegetation, and then presents systematic analyses of the impact of seasonality in food supply on the behavioural ecology of non-human primates. Syntheses in this volume then produce broad generalizations concerning the impact of seasonality on behavioural ecology and reproduction in both human and non-human primates, and apply these insights to primate and human evolution. Written for graduate students and researchers in biological anthropology and behavioural ecology, this is an absorbing account of how seasonality may have affected an important episode in our own evolution.
