Our research would not have been possible without the
help and encouragement of Bill Hamilton, who in 1992
generously allowed us to assume charge of his camp and C
troop, the baboon group he and his colleagues had studied
since the late 1970s. Bill died in 2006, after a distinguished
career as Professor of Zoology at the University of California, Davis. He was a superb naturalist with a talented appreciation for animals and their environment
