Something About Primates PRIMATES share many characteristics with other animals‚ but they differentiate as a distinct group from other mammals with certain special features. On a CLASSIFICATION chart‚ a chart that organizes diversity into categories and indicates evolutionary relationships‚ primates are categorized under the Phylum CHORDATA‚ containing all VERTEBRATES (animals with segmented spinal columns)‚ and are also split into 2 suborders: HAPLORHINI‚ which includes lemurs and lorises and STREPSIRHINI

LOCOMOTION AND MOVEMENT Locomotion is one of the important characteristics of all living beings as plants and animals. Mostly plants are fixed but some plants move. Plants are fixed but even then they show movements as leaves of plants‚ touch-me-not show remarkable movements‚ when touched by hand. The sunflower bends towards the sunlight. During the night time so many plants fold their leaves or close the petals but next morning the leaves and petals are opened normally. Plants like chlamydomonas

Adam Lopez November 3‚ 2016 Anthropology 300 Professor Katrina Worley Essay 2: Primates Primates are usually described as mammals that have locomotion‚ large brains‚ generalized teeth and diet‚ and occasionally complicated social organizations. The primate order is comprised of two suborders; the Strepsirrhini and the Haplorrhine. There are distinguishable characteristics between these two groups of primates. Some of the characteristics that define the Strepsirrhini are their rhinarium or wet nose

The order of Primates is comprised of an estimated 230-270 species‚ however‚ new species are being discovered every year and some scientists classify them using sub-specie groups‚ which makes it difficult to count an exact number of primate species in existence today. Most primates are found in tropical or subtropical regions of the world‚ but have never existed in Australia or most of the islands of the Pacific. Most primates are arboreal‚ meaning that they live in trees. Humans and gorillas are

The book A Primate’s Memoir by Robert M. Sapolsky takes the reader into the everyday life of a baboon. What Sapolsky was able to do was give insight in the everyday life of a baboon and we as the readers cannot help but compare and contrast the similarities and differences we have in common with these animals. Whether it is mating‚ fighting‚ competing‚ friendship or even mating we can all find similarities and differences. The book is filled with different stories taking and explaining the different

Studies on External Morphology of the Primate Eye written by Hiromi Kobayashi and Shiro Kohshima‚ there is an extensive look at how the exterior anatomy of primate and human eyes differ‚ and why this would be significantly adaptive as a trait. The authors focused on the distinctive coloration in the human eye along with its visible unpigmented sclera. They also concentrated their study to analyzing the correlation between eye morphology and the individual’s body size and habitat. The two authors formulated

Primate Behavior The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo‚ it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior‚ anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed

After going to Woodland Park and Zoo‚ observing primates has taught me about locomotor patterns of primates‚ relationships between locomotion and behavior‚ relationships between humans and other primates‚ and primates’ social interaction. Western Lowland Gorrilas are knucke-walkers‚ but they do climb and have a small of time standing bipedally. Since adult gorillas’ sheer sizes are big‚ they have to climb on the main trunk of the tree. Black-and-white Colobus Monkeys are arboreal quadruped and

Rome S. Professor Kindoski Anthro 001 May 18th‚ 2014 Primate Observation Primates are some of the most interesting animals to watch and learn about whether it be in person at a zoo or seeing a film or documentary on wild ones in a natural environment. Part of this reason is due to the incredible amount of similarities found in between primates and humans. After observing two different primate species at a local zoo‚ I found out that by observing their behavior‚ we gain a small insight into
