conditions every area got its individual‚ non-repetitive look. This did not happen by itself - but everything‚ even the smallest flower‚ was created... by someone... And this work had lasted for ages. When the perfect one among the animals - the Primate came to life during the "evolution" with a sufficiently perfect body‚ then it was time to furnish this body with a spirit - a human spirit. Man learned to handle it well and took care of it. The monkey’s body got flatter by the human spirit’s conduct

organization vary among primates? How does social organization relate to adaptation to particular environments? Use at least 3 primates with examples and specific detail. Compare and contrast the social organization of orangutans‚ gorillas‚ and common chimpanzees. Social organization among primates varies in many ways. To name a few‚ primates have variations in body size‚ group composition‚ dominance hierarchies‚ diet and mating systems (158). In spite of the differences among primates‚ their social organization

How do primates represent spatial information mentally and use this information for navigation? Researchers have proposed two major mental map representations of space in non-human primates. In a route-based or topological spatial representation map‚ primates have ideal pathways that they make use of repeatedly. Route-based makes also consist of discrete chosen landmarks as reference points to arrive at numerous locations from distinct directions (Urbani‚ 2009). In comparison‚ euclidean (coordinate-based)

Distinctive features of primate parenting relative to other mammals are characteristics of endothermy (warm-bloodedness)‚ bearing live young (placental)‚ and feeding their young with milk produced by mammary glands. Primates display unique parenting characteristics. Some of these characteristics include fertility‚ birth interval and preadult care. Fertility features include birth to relatively few offspring at a time‚ commonly just one. Features of Birth interval are relatively long period between

so interested in the other primates is that by looking at them we can obtain some ideas of what our ancestor must have been like a few millions years ago. Even though‚ we are not descended from any modern-type monkey or ape‚ our lineage does appear to have gone through stages in which we were a medium-sized‚ reasonably intelligent creature with good binocular vision‚ hands that were good at manipulation and the ability to climb trees. An evolutionary trend in primates involves the development of

an ancient primate related to lemurs. Scientists have named the new species Ramadapis sahnii and claim that it existed 11 to 14 million years ago‚ and is a member of the early primate family Sivaladapidae. Analysis of the jawbone shows that the species consumed leaves and was approximately the same size as a house cat‚ or to a modern day lemur. This discovery is important to the scientific community as with this discovery more information surrounding the evolutionary history of primates can be gathered

What are the major groups of primates? I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world

apes support this theory. PRIMATES Primates are a group of mammals that have special characteristics that include: both eyes are located at the front of the head and they provide binocular or three-dimensional vision; also all primates have 5 fingers (four fingers and a thumb). The ancestors of the primates were mouse like mammals that were awake in the nights‚ lived in the trees and they eat insects. The first primates exist after the dinosaurs die. The first primates were the ones that had larger

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
