Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1996. Hardcover. 0674363345 . A Fine edition in a Near Fine dust-jacket with some sticky residue coating the outer cover; Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary anthropologist, has written a fascinating book exploring the evolution of grooming, gossip, and language. He argues that these behaviors are all evolutionary adaptations that help groups of animals interact more effectively. Grooming, in particular, allows groups of animals to clean each other and to spread germs, which helps to maintain the group's health and to prevent the spread of disease. Gossip, Dunbar argues, serves as a way of passing along information about the group's activities and relationships, and it helps to keep members informed about what is going on in the group. Language, Dunbar argues, is also an adaptation that has helped groups of animals to communicate more effectively.; 8vo; 230 pages .
