The book explores the evolving field of behavioral biology, emphasizing its interdisciplinary nature by connecting evolutionary biology, zoology, ecology, anthropology, and psychology. It encourages a holistic approach to studying animals within their ecosystems, focusing on their social behaviors, development, and cognitive abilities. Drawing from teaching experiences, the author aims to present accessible information on contemporary issues in behavioral biology, fostering discussion and further exploration of topics like intelligence, novelty responses, and social learning.

Timely and interesting, the publication contains invited papers relating to the biology and conservation of New World species as well as papers that were presented at a meeting organised under the auspices of the Primate Society of Great Britain.
