Ashley White. Primates. Human brains = Primate brains. Much of our brain’s anatomy and the way we think is the way it is because we are primates. Primates are the Order within the Class . Primates. Why study primates?. Social behavior offers clues to human behavior.. Many ‘human’ behavioral traits are seen in primates.. Examples?. Behavioral analysis combined with morphological comparisons allow us to determine probable behavior of human ancestors.. Two Suborders:. Prosimians. Includes lemurs, . lorises. , bush babies, tarsiers. Anthropoids. Includes monkeys, apes and . humans. This division means that the . prosimians. have more traits/adaptations in common with each other than they do with the Anthropoids. Likewise, monkeys, apes and humans share more in common with each other than any of them do with the more primitive . Interpreting Primate Skeletons. Kathleen D. Reinhardt. M. P. hil/PhD Candidate.

Primates Jesse Laitman Barret Cohen Jason Bravo Research AIDS Scientists study through SIV Certain kinds of Immunodeficiency viruses can survive in primates but does not kill them Cancer Baboons Cell separation technique The emergence of the genus Homo is widely linked to the colonization of new highly seasonal savannah habitats. However, until now, our understanding of the possible impact of seasonality on this shift has been limited because we have little general knowledge of how seasonality affects the lives of primates. This book documents the extent of seasonality in food abundance in tropical woody vegetation. It then presents a systematic analysis of seasonality\'s impact in food supply on the behavioral ecology of non-human primates and ultimately applies its conclusions to primate and human evolution. Primates . Primates are a group of placental mammals . They include lemurs, monkeys apes and humans . Parental Care . Primates invest a long time in parental care for a small number of offspring . Primate offspring are almost helpless when they are first born. Husbandry’s Mission.

Our main focus should be to provide the animals with a clean, safe environment, healthy & nutritious diets, and healthcare. .
