"...a stimulating journey. The argument avoids many pitfalls, provokes questions, and stimulates a wide perspective. When biology and ethnology eventually establish regular commerce, I suspect it will be along some of the lines explored here." R. Haven Wiley, BioScience

"Primate cognition, which can be loosely defined as the study of the thinking, intelligence, communication, and decision making of primates, is an ebullient, interdisciplinary arena at a high boil with new developments in wild, captive and theoretical studies....The readers who would most benefit from reading this book are psychologists and cultural anthropologists interested in cultural evolution and cognition, but naive about primatology and animal behavior." Sue Boinski, American Journal of Physical Anthropology

"In an easy-to-read, conversational style, the authors review literature on primate social cognition, the importance of kinship in many matrilineal primate societies, and the elaboration of kinship and lineage classifications enabled by language." Karen B. Strier, International Journal of Primatology

"...densely packed with theory and models for further consideration....this book would stimulate useful discussion and suggest topics for further investigation." Lynne E. Miller, Quarterly Review of Biology

"...a solid and competent summary of cognitive primatology." N. Patrick Peritore, Human Ethology Bulletin

"Primate Behaviour is a solid and competent summary of cognitive primatology." Patrick Peritore, Human Ethology Bulletin
