Translated by M. Ann Biederman-Thornson
As Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey introduced readers to the fascinating lives of chimpanzees and gorillas, so Kummer brings us face to face with the Hamadryas baboons, the primates he tracked down, and then studied near the Danakil Desert in the early 1960s. Like the nomads with which they share the desert environment, the Hamadryas maintain a society that is strict and patriarchal in its details but multilayered and flexible in its largest units. A book which is at once compelling reading and rich in scientific detail.
