The zoo trip was a great experience and I learned a lot about the primate’s behaviors and how they interact with each other. Seeing the primates in person face to face was incredible because I could see how they interact with themselves‚ communicate with others by grooming. The primate group that I liked the best were the common squirrel monkeys‚ they were very small and playful. They kept playing with others in their group and climbing through the branches‚ collecting food. The common squirrel monkeys

The Extraordinary Kinship and Differences Between Humans and Nonhuman Primates If you were to look at an ape right now‚ you would find an ongoing list of both similarities and differences they have with humans. Besides the obvious similarities and differences‚ apes and our nonhuman primates are just like us in so many extraordinary ways. However‚ there are various skills and abilities we possess that they don’t‚ and vice versa. Moreover‚ for the past fifty years anthropologists‚ scholars and researchers

BANGKOK: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF A HYPERURBANIZED PRIMATE CITY Gerald W. Fry "The rapid expansion of a deteriorated environment and high social costs are the most obvious and immediate results of this overconcentration process. Eventually‚ the public investment on the expansion of urban infrastructure will reach a point of diminishing returns. Urban problems can bring national development to the edge of failure. This would be an appalling situation indeed!" Vimolsiddhi Horayangkura1 "Hyperurbanization

Life History Theory: Why bigger brains for Primate and How it came to be? Introduction Complex behaviors and intelligence are the trademark of the primate order and this has been attributed in part to relative large brain to body mass ratio (Reader and Laland‚ 2002). Defining intelligence‚ however‚ is a highly problematic issue; an operational definition used points to the primary component of intelligence to flexible problem solving and the ability to cope with any difficult situations (Jerison

This is why primate evolution is considered paleoanthropology (Begun‚ 2012). In researching the evolution of primates to humans a common topic is the curvature of hominoid phalangeal. The concept derives from the adaptation of tree living (arboreal) to land locomotion. When a prime is classified as arboreal the phalangeal is curved more than a knuckle walker. In the article Broke Fingers

conditions every area got its individual‚ non-repetitive look. This did not happen by itself - but everything‚ even the smallest flower‚ was created... by someone... And this work had lasted for ages. When the perfect one among the animals - the Primate came to life during the "evolution" with a sufficiently perfect body‚ then it was time to furnish this body with a spirit - a human spirit. Man learned to handle it well and took care of it. The monkey’s body got flatter by the human spirit’s conduct

There is a lot I learned studying the primates. Primates are very fascinating and I think there is a lot more to learn about them. Primates have many different characteristics and because of this they are classified in different groups of species. I did my observation on prosimians‚ monkeys‚ and apes as well. The observation was conducted at the Sacramento Zoo of nine primate species. Out of the nine there are three primates that caught my attention and it’s the Ring Tail Lemur‚ White Faced Saki

How do primates represent spatial information mentally and use this information for navigation? Researchers have proposed two major mental map representations of space in non-human primates. In a route-based or topological spatial representation map‚ primates have ideal pathways that they make use of repeatedly. Route-based makes also consist of discrete chosen landmarks as reference points to arrive at numerous locations from distinct directions (Urbani‚ 2009). In comparison‚ euclidean (coordinate-based)
