Paperback. Zustand: Good. Sarah Blaffer Hardy argues that evolutionary theorists' emphasis on sexual competition among males for access to females overlooks selection pressures on females themselves.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Hrdy argues that evolutionary theorists emphasis on sexual competition among males for access to females overlooks selection pressures on females themselves. In this account of what female primates themselves do to secure their own reproductive advantage, she demolishes myths about sexually passive, coy, compliant, exclusively nurturing females.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. ?The Langurs of Abu will for many years remain one of the major studies of wild primates, both for its observational and theoretical content.? ?Alison JollySexual combat is not a monopoly of the human species. As Sarah Blaffer Hrdy argues in this spellbinding book, war between male and female animals has deep roots in evolutionary history. Her account of family life among hanuman langurs?the black-faced, gray monkeys inhabiting much of the Indian subcontinent?is written with force, wit, and at times, sorrow.Male hanumans, in pursuit of genetic success, routinely kill babies sired by their competitors. The mothers of endangered infants counter with various strategems to deceive the males and prevent destruction of their own offspring. Competition and selfishness are dominant themes of langur society. Competition among males for access to females, competition among females for access to food resources, and disregard by one female for the well-being of another?s infant?these are some very common examples. Yet there are also moments of heroic self-sacrifice, as when an elderly female rushes to defend her troop and its babies from an invading, infancticidal male.The Langurs of Abu is the first book to analyze behavior of wild primates from the standpoint of both sexes. It is also a poignant and sophisticated exploration of primate behavior patterns from a feminist point of view. This book may inspire controversy; it will certainly be read with pleasure by anyone interested in animal behavior.Richly illustrated with photographs, seven in full color.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Mother Nature is the big new popular science book for the end of the millennium. It starts from the standpoint of Darwinist evolutionary theory, but turns it on its head. It is the first such major book by a women, qho ia professor of SocioBiology at the University of California, trained in Anthropology and an expert on Primates in particular. She's also one of the few women members fo the US Academy of Sciences. It's not for nothing that Nature is known as Mother Nature. Evolution is controlled, Hrdy demonstrates, not by the male of species, but by the female who is more diverse, deadlier and more adaptable for her own and for evolutionary purposes (which are one and the same thing) than the male. It is thus the female who ultimately controls the perpetuation and evolution of her family/tribe/race/species right through nature. The notion of 'maternal instinct', with it baggage of self-sacrifice, gentleness and devotion, is not just a myth but a misapprehension. In fact, strong, aggressive 'maternal' behaviour is the ultimate manifestation of the 'selfish' gene. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
