The first book to focus on the political behavior of primates also undertakes to compare human social behavior with that of nonhuman primates. The editors contribute probing introductory essays to each of the three major parts of the volume in addition to their article-length introductory and concluding chapters.

In both cases, nonverbal cues studied by primatologists are shown to illuminate the dynamics of human politics.
