The Descent Of The Primates: Lectures (1897) is a book written by Ambrosius Arnold Willem Hubrecht, a Dutch embryologist and evolutionary biologist. The book is a collection of lectures that Hubrecht delivered at the University of Utrecht, where he was a professor of zoology. The lectures focus on the evolution of primates, including humans, and examine the various anatomical, physiological, and behavioral traits that distinguish primates from other animals.Hubrecht begins by discussing the history of primate research, from the early days of natural history to the more recent advances in embryology and genetics. He then delves into the anatomy and physiology of primates, exploring their skeletal structure, musculature, and nervous system. He also discusses the ways in which primates have adapted to their environments, such as their opposable thumbs and binocular vision.In addition to these physical traits, Hubrecht also explores the social and behavioral aspects of primates, including their communication methods, mating behaviors, and social hierarchies. He draws on examples from both wild and captive primates to illustrate his points, and he also discusses the implications of primate research for understanding human evolution and behavior.Overall, The Descent Of The Primates: Lectures (1897) is a comprehensive and informative book that provides a detailed look at the evolution of primates. Hubrecht's lectures are well-researched and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of primates or evolutionary biology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
