    Chapter 7: Old World Monkeys: The Leaf Eating Colobines Primate evolution of old world monkeys was carried out through adaptive replacement of successful species according to the fossil record. The old world monkeys are located in some parts of Africa and Asia, however their ancestors once inhabited Europe and Africa. Their distinguishable features from new world monkeys are their “downward-turned noses, flattened nails rather than claw-like, flexible thumbs, and a variety of bodily decorations.” Old world monkeys have two subfamilies, the Colobinae with either genera and the Cercopithecinae with nine genera.

    Bonobos and chimpanzees are a unique pair of organisms that are a great example of how two different species are so closely related, but are so distant in characteristics. Both bonobos and chimpanzees fall with in the same genius but are two different species altogether. Two million years ago both bonobos and chimpanzees originated from the same common ancestor, making the genome of the two species about 99.6 percent identical. Yet, differences between bonobos and chimpanzees are revealed when we compare their appearance, social behavior and governing societies. The Congo is the only place where bonobos are found, and because of tensions between the people of the country, the study of bonobos in the wild has been very difficult.…

    As this canopy species has interbirth intervals, and long time gestation period this becomes another threat for them. People believe that this species is better to be their pets, rather than being free. People capture an infant monkey by killing it's mother, and then it is sold at a low rate in the Black Market, as a pet. This New World Primate was created to be free, not to be our pets or food, and neither were their habitats created to serve us as a agriculture or farm land, mining sites, or as our…

    They are found swinging in trees or hanging from tree limbs. Gibbons use a system of brachiating in which they swing from branch to branch in trees (Lang). Gibbons have a generalized body plan and their arboreal body makes it well adaptable for them in the canopy of trees (Stanford, et al. 184). Their body size range anywhere from ten to twenty-five pounds and they are under three feet in length (184). They have a flat face, enlarged brain, grasping hands and feet, longer arms than legs, very long fingers, short thumbs, a broad chest, a suspensory shoulder, and no tail (“Gibbons” and Stanford, et al. 184).…

    A trip to the zoo is always enlightening as no matter how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we can learn who they are, and maybe who we are. The primate that I picked was a mongooses lemur, native to Madagascar.…

    The Evolution in Primate Locomotion and Body Configuration One of the most important parts of the primate evolution is when the primates changed in body structure and locomotion. Although some may say that the origin of the human bipedalism is a persistent mystery (Gebo 1996); however, the evolution of bipedalism began in order to survive through climate changes, be able to hunt their food and get away from danger in order to survive. Primate locomotion can be classified into four major types: vertical clinging and leaping, quadrupedalism, brachiating and bipedalism (Groves, 2014). Over the millions of years, primates have been adapting to the changing environment therefore improving the structure of their bodies and speed (“Evolution…

    Los Angeles Zoo Primates Our day at the zoo simply started with the objective of completing our visit, by seeing at least one each of the primates of each category around the zoo. That was quickly discarded considering that amount of information that the zoo provided for us about each individual creature. Because of the way that the zoo was structured we were unable to simply follow a particular order in which the animals were categorized. We visited all the different primates (as much as we could possibly see in our time there) and simply observed them each and photograph their actions behaviors and appearance along with potential eats and actives that may undergo on a daily base. Organizing the visits based on categories made it easier to structure and understand why it is that each type of primate belongs to that group.…
