Coalitions and Alliances in Humans and Other Animals

This book explores in detail how and why animals, including humans, co-operate with one another in conflicts with other members of their own species, and examines the difference such help makes to their lives and to the nature of the society in which they live.

This book is intended for zoologists interested in primates; behavioural ecologists; anthropologists; social psychologists; sociologists; evolutionary biologists.
