Description
Summary:Current Topics in Primate Vocal Communication is the first compilation of evolution-oriented research on the vocal communication abilities of non human primates. Contributions examine a broad array of different primate groups, ranging from the most archaic primates such as lemurs, loris, and bushbabies to higher primates including apes and man. In-depth reviews feature previously unpublished material and provide state-of-the-art information on current techniques and the latest developments in primate bioacoustics. Papers address recent findings on social and environmental determinants of nonhuman primate vocal systems from a functional and evolutionary perspective, and explore their morphological, neuronal, and cognitive aspects. Novel theories are raised on the evolution of human speech and language from nonhuman primate vocal communication.
