“Si por un rato nos animamos a salir de la aldea penal, comprenderemos que el libro de los colegas Campos Calderón y Mora Sánchez no debe leerse como una discusión entre penalistas, sino que es una clara recomendación de prevención política del peor de los crímenes contra la humanidad, aunque hoy parezca un riesgo lejano, casi remoto en el lugar en que escriben sus autores, porque siempre a ese extremo se llega insidiosamente, en silencio, como una lenta infección y gangrena de odio. Por eso, siempre que en algún lugar llega la hecatombe, todos se preguntan ¿Cómo pudo suceder? Sí, así se llega: cultivando el odio y estigmatizando impúdicamente al derecho penal liberal de garantías”. E. Raúl Zaffaroni. Profesor Emérito de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Professor Linda M. Fedigan, Member of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, has made major contributions to our understanding of the behavioural ecology of primates. Furthermore, Linda Fedigan pioneered and continues to advance scholarship on the role of women in science, as well as actively promoting the inclusion of women in the academy. A symposium in honour of her career was held in Banff (Alberta, Canada) in December 2016, during which former and current students and collaborators, as well as scientists with similar research interests, presented and discussed their work and their connections to Linda Fedigan. These presentations and discussions are here presented as chapters in this festschrift. The original works presented in this book are organized around four major research areas that have been greatly advanced and influenced by Linda Fedigan: Primate life histories Sex roles, gender, and science Primate-environment interactions Primate adaptation to changing environments
