The Role of Primate Sociality in Evolutionary Theory Introduction Some animals‚ and more specifically primates‚ have been noted for having brains of an uncommonly large size. One explanation for this phenomenon is the ‘social brain’ or ‘social intelligence’ hypothesis‚ which states that brain sizes have increased in order to handle the demands of sociality (Lindenfors 2005; Pérez-Barbería et al. 2007). The increase in brain size can be attributed to the computational power needed to track

Primates Woo Youn Choi Professor Sharon Rachele Biological Anthropology June 4‚ 2014 Primates There are two different suborders of primates such as strepsirrhini and haplorrhini. All non-human primates are divided by these two suborders; in other words‚ primates with having moist nose are strepsirrhini‚ and primates with dry nose are haplorrhini. In modern day‚ lots of primates still exist in specific regions. For instance‚ ring-tailed lemur is one of non-human primates from strepsirrhini

man and ape separate from thinking alike. Though man and primate have similar states of being‚ men have a more curiosity towards the world then primate. It’s been proven that primates have a better capacity towards the learning. Though humans are the ones being top of the food change‚ it’s amazing how a little curiosity in our life makes all the difference. Apes have more capacity to learning then a human but it always seems that primates only care about living eating and using the bathroom whenever

Studying primate dentition is a relatively old topic. There have been many studies conducted to find more information on primate dental morphology. The research is conducted to try and distinguish the relationship between diet and primate dentition. Primate teeth have several functions‚ but their primary function is the mastication of food. Their dental morphology reflects the various functions demanded by the variety of food types—shearing‚ chopping‚ grinding. Generally‚ incisors function chiefly

Quiet Time with a Primate On Saturday‚ February 27‚ 2016‚ an absolutely beautiful day in Houston‚ Texas‚ the opportunity came to mind to make a trip to the Houston Zoo.

may allow fast identification of colours associated with predators or prey rather than accurate colour processing (Cronin & Marshall). Primates are the only mammals that possess trichromatic colour vision (three cone colour vision) with the vast majority of mammals having dichromatic colour vision (Jacobs 1993‚2018). It is theorised that trichromatic vision in primates allows for the differentiation of red fruit from a green background so that ripe fruits can be found amongst trees. This has been observed

Making comparisons by linking specific species that have similar traits is the key to figuring out exactly what humans evolved from. This comparison can be done in many ways. Mortality and anatomy: look at the human body and compare it with other primates to see how it changes. In an article from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural Science‚ the article says‚ “As some early humans adapted to hot climates‚ they evolved narrow bodies that helped them stay cool. Long legs enable them to travel

non-human primate conservation many issues arise as the population is constantly growing and therefore requires more accessible space for building and other land uses. The issue of non-human primate conservation is a large issue in various parts of the developing world‚ as they are home to numerous non-human primates and as the developing the human population is growing and the non-human primate population is decreasing with the decrease in forest area. Viewing primates is a way

Santa Ana zoo since I knew that there would be less people there‚ Fun in the sense that I have not been to a zoo since I was a little kid which made me excited to not only see the primate exhibit for this project but to also check out some of the other animals that were at the zoo.
