    The New World Monkeys: The Dwarfing Hypothesis

    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).…

    Living Primates Summary

    The sciencemag.com article “Anti-Alzheimer’s Gene may have Led to the Rise of Grandparents” by Kelli Whitlock Burton talks about the how the protective variant of the CD33 gene may explain why humans have grandmothers that help with child rearing. The article explains the “grandmother hypothesis” that says humans live such long and healthy lives even after they are no longer able to reproduce because they help with child rearing. The CD33 gene plays a big role in Alzheimer’s disease and scientists Ajit Varki and Pascal Gagneux discovered that there are two variants of it: a protective allele and a damaging one.…

    Anatomical Observation Of Howler Monkeys

    With over 15 different classified species, howler monkeys that are native to Central and South American rainforests are well known for their low pitched but high volume distinctive howls. Big in size yet only weighing 10kg, their distinctive howls can be heard over 3 miles away from their location even in the dense rainforest. Their ability to emit howls is the result of their large hyoid bones and their throat structure that works together to project the loud howls. Various studies have been done to exam their social patterns and if the loud howls they emit are part of a larger scheme in their social behaviors. Howler monkeys not only use their howls to communicate with other monkeys that are in their troop, but they also use their howls for…

    Boundary Mill Research Paper

    Boundary walls generally surround the factory area to keep it away from the regular area. Though it keeps the people away, monkeys do not see these boundary walls as an obstacle. They can easily climb over the top of the walls to get inside the factory. Once inside the area, monkeys can destroy everything they find in their path. Their main search is for water and food but they tend to tear apart or break stuff on their way if they find the items to be interesting to them. They hurt the workers by biting them…

    Primate Socio-Ecology

    Primate socio-ecology varies and has different determinants that decide many different characteristics. As a virtual paleontologist, we discovered two different sites and skeletal remains in Kenya and deductively reasoned their mating habits, group size, and several other characteristics about the Praeanthropus dimorphicus and the Praeanthropus monomorphicus with what I know about primate socio-ecology. Based on my prior knowledge, logic, and reasoning, by looking at skeletal remains we are able to deduce many different features included in primate socio-ecology for these two different species that include: group size, diet, mating system, habitat, and finally ranging behavior and territoriality.…

    Capuchin Monkeys

    Capuchins have traditionally been in the genus, Cebus Erxleben from the family Cabidae. There had been four species recognized among the capuchins, such as: Cebus albifrons, Cebus olivaceus, Cebus capucinus, and Cebus apella, all of which are a taxonomy that dominated capuchin history for an approximation of 50 years (Lynch Alfaro et al., 2014). Over the years more capuchins had been recognized as well such as, Cebus kaapori, Cebus libidinosus, Cebus nigritus, Cebus queirozi, and finally Cebus xanthosternos. In a physical sense, capuchin monkeys weigh around six to twelve pounds and live over five decades. In contrast to New World Monkeys, they have robust jaw and dental structures, large brains…

    Primates in the Santa Ana Zoo

    My initial thoughts about going having to go to the zoo for this project was that it was going to be challenging yet fun, Challenging in the sense that with my post traumatic stress disorder from the military because I have trouble being around crowds of people which is why I supposed that is why I chose to go to the 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 Influence Of Railings On Monkeys

    Railings serve as a comfortable place for the monkey and its family to sit upon. This makes it difficult for the people in the house to sit out in the front porch as monkeys tend to attack those who come near them. Even if you do not plan to harm them, they take it as an attack and try to retaliate. You cannot drive them off manually since they are stronger than us. Small children cannot be let out alone when monkeys are around. They can bite when they want to attack and spread rabies through this.…

    Primate Observation - San Diego Zoo

    Primates are one of the most interesting mammals on earth, not only because of their complex social structures, but because they hold so many similar characteristics to humans. 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 behaviors that may be similar as well as different to the other primates and ours.…

    Scopes Monkey Trial

    We live in a society that is continuously surrounded with conflict between religion and way of life. From the very beginning of time, there has always been a battle between the values of religion and those of the individual. During the era of Jesus, they were in a dilemma of following the basic laws of Judaism that had already become outdated by about two thousand years or those of the Romans. Since the development of science in more recent years, issues such as these have come even more into light and relevance. Today the world fights topics such as homosexual marriages and abortion. In 1925, these conflicting ideas were different but on a similar topic, evolution. In the case of Tennessee vs. John Scopes, “the Monkey Trial,” the recent discoveries of Charles Darwin had brought into question, are we related to monkeys? Even though the Butler Act was not scientific and not based on truth, its purpose was to maintain the traditional lifestyles that had been practiced for centuries.…
