Zusammenfassung: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 In-depth reviews feature previously unpublished material and provide state-of-the-art information on current techniques and the latest developments in primate bioacoustics.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
The new data and thought-provoking concepts presented in this book are valuable for students and professionals in zoology, psychology, ethology and animal behavior, anthropology, primatology, linguistics, neurobiology, and comparative anatomy
