-This volume is a valuable resource for anthropologists interested
in the origins of human social behavior and cooperation. This text
provides a viewpoint that can potentially lead to expand
interpretations for why humans have such long life spans.- --Corey
S. Zolondek, Anthropology and Aging Quarterly -This timely and
useful volume provides not only a reminder of the wealth of
valuable information available about this genus, but also presents
a tantalizing set of hypotheses, ideas, and predictions that can,
perhaps in the near future, be tested on that rarest of zoological
treasures: a new species from a well-studied taxon.- --William F.
