This book focuses on macaques, the most widely distributed and behaviorally flexible nonhuman primate species. ... a useful, timely collection of essays highlighting the diversity of the genus and its interface with humans. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. (L. Swedell, Choice, Vol. 50 (8), April, 2013)
The Macaque Connection ... explores the many ways in which humans and macaques have connected in the past and the present. ... The Macaque Connection focuses on providing a rich historical perspective on a wider range of macaque species. The Macaque Connection therefore has greater relevance for historians and cultural anthropologists. ... of interest to primatologists--especially macaque researchers. (Crystal M. Riley, International Journal of Primatology, Vol. 34, 2013)
