Evolution and biogeography of primates: a new model based on molecular phylogenetics, vicariance and plate tectonics

This bookaims to revitalizepanbiogeographywith the cladistic results of molecular systematics (p. vii): Molecular analysis has revealed an intricate, orderly, geographic pattern in most groups examined …. This molecular/geographic structure has often been described as “surprising ” …. The discovery of this structurehasbeenoneof themost excitingdevelopments in molecular biology, and it has intriguing, far-reaching implications for evolutionary studies in general. There are 10 chapters, most about 50 pages long, the last two shorter. The first two set out the logic relevant to Evolution in Space (Chapter 1) and Evolution in Time (Chapter 2). Next, are chapters on Evolution
