This book summarizes recent research on the behavior and ecology of hamadryas baboons in Ethiopia. Unlike previous syntheses of research on this species, this study focuses on females and their contribution to hamadryas social organization. This book counters the male-biased view of hamadryas baboon behavior that has persisted over the decades, suggesting that female behavior contributes more to hamadryas social organization than has previously been assumed, and that females may, in fact, be acting in their own best interests after all.
