Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Primate Archaeology and Adaptation offers an interdisciplinary examination of Nicobar long-tailed macaques, situating their tool use, social behavior, and ecological flexibility within deep evolutionary time and contemporary conservation challenges. It documents the ecology, social organization, and behavioral repertoire of long-tailed macaques, including foraging strategies, food sharing, reproductive dynamics, exploratory behavior, and diverse forms of object manipulation. The book presents detailed accounts of tool-related behaviors, such as leaf 'glove' use, substrate selection for pounding, and the innovative use of anthropogenic materials, while carefully distinguishing between tool use and broader object use. By bridging fossil history, behavioral ecology, and archaeological method, it rethinks material culture beyond humans.
This book will interest scholars and advanced students in biological anthropology, primatology, archaeology, human evolution, animal behavior, and conservation studies. It will also appeal to researchers working on material culture, island ecology, and South Asian environmental policy.
