- Summary:
- 'Dynamics of Human and Primate Societies' presents the most up-to-date research in the study of human and primate societies, demonstrating recent advances in software and algorithms for modelling societies. It also addresses case studies that have applied agent-based modelling approaches in archaeology, cultural anthropology, primatology and sociology.
