Synopsis

Honorable Mention, Association of American Publishers 1998 Professional/Scholarly Publishing Annual Award in Biological Science Based on a six-year investigation in Tanzania's Gombe National Park, this book is the first long-term field study of a predator-prey relationship involving two wild primates. Because chimpanzees are often used as models of how early humans may have lived, Stanford's findings offer insight into the possible role of early hominids as predators, a little understood aspect of human evolution. "Excellent. An important study of the relationship between chimpanzees and their prey" - Jane Goodall " [An] entertaining analysis of the evolutionary whys, behavioral ecology wherefores and natural history hows of a fascinating predator-prey system . . . [The] wealth of detail makes it hard to believe that, until two decades ago, chimps were thought of as entirely peaceful vegetarians. Just read Craig Stanford's Chimpanzee and Red Colobus to discover how wrong we all were" - New Scientist
