Theropithecus: The Rise and Fall of a Primate Genus

"...an impressive array of approaches to understanding this other group of late Neogene large African terrestrial primates." Gregory J. Retallack, Priscum

"...As a primate, theropiths are important for our evolution. This volume is a fine study of the genus, and it is highly recommended." New York Paleontological Society

"Nina Jablonski's book should introduce a wider audience to the geladas, and seve as an indispensible reference for those who work on the genus and anyone with an interest in the Plio-Pleistocene....I feel that this is a very valuable book and that the editor, authors and publisher have accomplished a great serice in producing this volume." Journal of Human Evolution

"It is a tour de force. The layout, typesetting, the quality of the photographs, and even the jacket illustration are first rate. The contributors hail from eight different countries and are all experts in their respective fields. But its content and organization are where this volume truly excels. The editor, Nina Jablonski, has done a superb job, uniting the topics of the volume into four main sections....The topical coverage of Theropithecus in this fine volume is nearly perfect....[T]he volume will remain an important source of information about this unusual primate well into the twenty-first century. This is a volume that every primatologist, primate paleontologist and all sentient paleoanthropologists should have on their shelves....Nina Jablonski deserves thanks from all of us for assembling this wonderful work." Russell L. Ciochon, Evolutionary Anthropology
