Books by Susan (Rutgers University Cachel

Reconstructing the paleobiology of fossil non-human primates, this book draws a detailed picture of ancient primate communities, including contemporary animals and plants. With information on how fossils are formed and their role in inferring evolutionary processes, it is a unique resource for undergraduate and graduate students interested in fossil primates.

Written for students and researchers interested in how primates, including ourselves, evolved, Primate and Human Evolution explores evolutionary anthropology from a broad comparative perspective, and presents a new model of human origins that does not depend solely on global climatic change.
