This especially significant read is organized into nine chapters that discuss:
*the gestural repertoire of chimpanzees;
*gestures in orangutans, subadult gorillas, and siamangs;
*gestural communication in Barbary macaques; and
*a comparison of the gestures of apes and monkeys.
This book will appeal to psychologists, anthropologists, and linguists interested in the evolutionary origins of language and/or gestures, as well as to all primatologists. A CD insert offers video of gestures for each of the species.
