Our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, are familiar enoughbright and ornery and promiscuous. But they also kill and eat their kin, in this case the red colobus monkey, which may say something about primateeven hominidevolution. This book, the first longterm field study of a predatorprey relationship involving two wild primates, documents a sixyear investigation into how the risk of predation molds primate society. Taking us to Gombe National Park in Tanzania, a place made famous by Jane Goodall's studies, the book offers a close look at how predation by wild chimpanzeesobservable in the park as nowhere elsehas influenced the behavior, ecology, and demography of a population of red colobus monkeys.As he explores the effects of chimpanzees' hunting, Craig Stanford also asks why these creatures prey on the red colobus. Because chimpanzees are often used as models of how early humans may have lived, Stanford's findings offer insight into the possible role of early hominids as predators, a little understood aspect of human evolution.The first booklength study in a newly emerging genre of primate field study, Chimpanzee and Red Colobus expands our understanding of not just these two primate societies, but also the evolutionary ecology of predators and prey in general.
