Primate socioecology is being dramatically transformed as new studies are undertaken in Madagascar and the New World. Simultaneously, the incorporation of primate studies in a broader framework of theory in behavioral ecology promises to more intelligently inform anthropology's traditional concerns with primate and hominid evolution.
