Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a comprehensive look atnonhuman primate social inequalities as models forhealth differences associated with socioeconomic statusin humans. The benefit of the socially-housedmonkey model is that it provides the complexity of hierarchical structure andrank affiliation, i.e. both negative and positive aspects of social status. Atthe same time, nonhuman primates are moreamenableto controlled experimentsand more invasive studies that can be usedinhuman beingstoexamine the effects of low status on brain development, neuroendocrinefunction, immunity, and eating behavior. Because all of these biological andbehavioral substrates form the underpinnings of human illness, and are likelyshared among primates, the nonhuman primate model can significantly advance ourunderstanding of the best interventions in humans.
