Baboons are large‚ old world monkeys that reside in many different parts of Africa. They are largely terrestrial non-human primates that spend most of the daylight time on the ground‚ and the night in trees and caves. They live in social groups that can range from around 10 to around 100. An interesting fact about baboons is they are sexually dimorphic‚ meaning that the female baboons only grow to about 50-60 percent compared to the male baboons.

THE NEW WORLD MONKEYS: THE DWARFING HYPOTHESIS Introduction I will consider support for the dwarfing hypothesis in New World monkeys. Since evolution has shown to result in a general increase in body size‚ the case of reduced body size in the New World primates is quite unusual. To explain the phenomenon‚ the dwarfing hypothesis has been proposed (Martin‚ 1992). The dwarfing hypothesis implies that there must have been selective pressure that favored a reduction in body size. Phyletic

NEW AND OLD WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY Artifacts of the old and new world have some likeness but also have many differences. I made a visit to the Cobb Museum at Mississippi State University to analyze this for myself. When down there‚ I saw pottery‚ writing‚ tools‚ jewelry‚ and many other things from each world.

representations can vary among species. For instance‚ one study suggested that South American brown woolly monkeys use a route-based spatial map. The use of a route-based map is based on primate behavior‚ where the Lagothrix lagotricha‚ used the same travel sites repeatedly while other locations within the home range remained untouched (Fiore and Suarez‚ 2007). It was also establish that woolly monkeys utilize landmarks in the form of topographical features and use intersecting roads‚ referred to
