From the reviews:"The book Primates and Cetaceans contains a vast body of information and excellent reviews of and hypotheses on these diverse mammalian groups. ... of equal interest to independent primatologists and cetologists, and young researchers and students who seek study topics and/or hypotheses. It is the very first direct comparison of primates and cetaceans, and thus, provides a starting point for possible collaboration between primatologists and cetologists."
