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

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. The taxonomic classification of the primate that I observed at the Santa Ana zoo was the Crested Capuchin or (Cebus paella robustus)‚ Family: Cebidae.

Thailand. Crab-eating macaque in Thailand. The following list shows where the various monkey families (bolded) are placed in the Primate classification. Note that the smallest grouping that contains them all is the Simiiformes‚ the simians‚ which also contains the apes. Calling apes "monkeys" is incorrect. Calling either a simian is correct. * ORDER PRIMATES o Suborder Strepsirrhini: non-tarsier prosimians

Primates are often cited as our closest living relatives and on two separate occasions I observed four separate species of primates at the San Diego Zoo that can justify their use of their physical characteristics and

most modern primates. Early researches made huge discovers when studying these primates such as characteristics‚ the anatomy‚ and the social behavior that could be compared to humans today. However‚ no matter how many similarities you find between primates and humans there will always be differences. The man difference is that humans became more advanced then the modern ape which made it easy for researches to discover how far we have come since once being considered highly evolved primates before humans

Goodall’s discovery scientists believed that non-human primates lived simple life. It turns out that they are highly intelligent‚ emotional creatures that live in complex societies. This new discovery lead people to feel compassion and concern for the animals. Leakey’s once said “new we must redefine tool‚ redefine man‚ or consider chimpanzees as humans”. We now see that we are not alone with being advanced that there are other non-human primates that also are advancing. People believe that
