This work provides up-to-date research in the study of ethnoprimatology and directions for further research by compiling, organizing, and integrating available information from multiple indigenous societies from Mexico to Argentina. The chapters presented cover indigenous peoples’ perceptions and interactions with monkeys, including topics on primates as prey/food, ethnobiology/ethnoecology, ethnozoology/ethnobotany, cosmology/mythology, narratives about primates, uses of monkeys, monkeys as pets, and ethnoclassification. This book is innovative by presenting multiple views from different indigenous societies, countries, and intellectual backgrounds as well as a good balance of contributors’ genders and ethnicities. This book serves as a centerpiece in contributing to the ethnographical, biological, and ecological views of primates by indigenous societies, and it will be indispensable for students, scholars, and researchers exploring the study of Neotropical primates and ethnobiology. Ethnoprimatology is situated at the intersection between the biological and cultural subfields of anthropology. Although there have been studies on human-nonhuman primate interactions in the Neotropics, no single comprehensive volume has been published that integrates this information within theoretical and ethnoprimatological frameworks from which to understand this interaction in the tropical Americas. weiterlesen
