consists of two infraorders: Anthropoidea and Tarsiiformes. The infraorder Anthropoidea‚ in particular‚ comprises of Anthropoids which include all monkeys‚ apes and humans (Jurmain et al. 147). Even though lemurs‚ lorises‚ and anthropoids are all primates there exist reasons why lemurs and lorises are classified in a different suborder and infraorder from anthropoids. Five traits of lemurs and lorises that distinguish them from anthropoids are the following: 1) lemurs and lorises have increased reliance

for which an animal has to move around can be very limited for the primates. For example the gibbons‚ they would swing very fast but then have to stop immediately to turn around and begin swinging in the opposite direction. In a natural environment this would not be a problem. The eating behaviors of the animals would also be different in the wild. In the zoo I suppose that obtaining meals is rather an easy task for these primates. I observed a gibbon go inside of its shelter and return with some

Oxford University evolutionary psychology professor‚ Robin Dunbar. Known for his research with primates‚ Dunbar concluded that certain factors attribute to the evolution of primate social interactions. In this study‚ which led to the development of the Dunbar’s number‚ he tested if the size of the primate’s brain was directly proportional with their ability to form social connections with other primates. In fact‚ through this experiment‚ Dunbar was able to conclude that brain size affects the ability

Animals with few sweat glands‚ such as dogs‚ accomplish similar temperature regulation results by panting‚ which evaporates water from the moist lining of the oral cavity and pharynx. Primates and horses have armpits that sweat like those of humans. Although sweating is found in a wide variety of mammals‚ relatively few‚ such as humans and horses‚ produce large amounts of sweat in order to cool down. Definitions Hypohidrosis is decreased
