About the Author

Eva M. Ferrero is a distinguished anatomist and primatologist whose groundbreaking work bridges the fields of zoology and medical science. With a PhD in comparative anatomy from the University of Barcelona, she has dedicated her career to unraveling the complexities of primate musculoskeletal systems, offering invaluable insights into evolutionary biology and biomechanics. Her meticulous research, often conducted in collaboration with international teams in Southeast Asia, emphasizes the importance of detailed documentation for conservation efforts and rehabilitation practices. Ferrero's passion for orangutans stems from years of fieldwork in Borneo and Sumatra, where she has witnessed firsthand the threats facing these majestic creatures. Through her scholarly contributions, she advocates for a deeper understanding of non-human primates to inform human health and ethical wildlife management. Her latest publication, Photographic and Descriptive Musculoskeletal Atlas of Orangutans: with notes on the attachments, variations, innervations, function and synonymy and weight of the muscles, stands as a testament to her rigorous, detail-oriented approach, serving as an essential resource for researchers, veterinarians, and educators worldwide.
