About this title

Synopsis

In combination with predation and competition for resources, infectious disease is a key ecological factor that influences the evolution of animal mating and social systems. Although recent studies have begun to illuminate the central role that infectious disease plays in the lives of some mammals, surprisingly little is yet known or has been written about its influence on the complex mating and social systems of primates, including humans.
