Description: Infanticide : Comparative and Evolutionary Perspectives, Paperback by Hausfater, Glenn (EDT); Hrdy, Sarah Blaffer (EDT), ISBN 0202362213, ISBN-13 9780202362212, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Working from the knowledge that infanticide is of the natural order, the contributors of these 25 classic articles show when and why animals and humans kill embryonic or newly hatched/born members of their own species. Contributors trace infanticide (and in some cases, cannibalism) in birds, fishes, amphibians, carnivores in general, rodents, and other mammals, showing that infanticide is linked to a number of expected outcomes besides allocation of scarce resources. Includes classic studies on langurs in India and excess female human mortality, a case study of the practices of the Ayoreo people in South America, and a report by Fossey on infanticide among mountain gorillas and chimpanzees.
