Non-Human Primates and Human Culture

Non-Human Primates and Human Culture: Case Studies and Applications of Conservation of Asian Primate Species provides the most comprehensive knowledge on the relations and interactions between humans and non-human primates. It focuses on conservation practices to ensure the safety of both humans and non-human primate species across growing Asian countries.

Written by primatology, animal behavior, and conservation experts, this book assesses primate classifications, historical geography, archaeology, and conservation of various species from multiple cultural perspectives. Each chapter covers a case study of a different species of Asian non-human primates, analyzing its conservation threats due to economic expansion, climate change, and deforestation, and the inevitable encounters with humans due to displacement among growing countries.

Non-Human Primates and Human Culture: Case Studies and Applications of Conservation of Asian Primate Species is a valuable resource for conservationists, primatologists, and animal behavior researchers, who are seeking to understand the relationship between these distant evolutionary relatives and future implications for protection and conservation.
