Chimp lunch

A detailed, but entertaining, analysis of the evolutionary whys,
behavioural ecology wherefores and natural history hows of a fascinating
predator-prey system. Suitable for undergraduates and above, the wealth of
detail makes it hard to believe that, until two decades ago, chimps were thought
of as entirely peaceful vegetarians. Just read Craig Stanford’s Chimpanzee and
Red Colobus: The Ecology of Predator and Prey to discover how wrong we all were.
