mother with food. The monkey would go to the wire mother for food but spend most of its time on the cloth mother. They came to the conclusion that contact comfort is important and overshadowed all other variables, including nursing. They then presented a scary apparatus and the monkey runs to his mother (the cloth one), to touch her and have contact with the mother. His personality completely changed when he had contact with his mother. In the other experiment, they put a monkey into a room…

It is highly likely that the first time a person encountered a capuchin monkey is not in person, but in a comedy movie featuring a capuchin as the main character’s comedic sidekick or pet.

from many museums around the country. This terrestriality is more prominent amongst cercopithecoid primates. Preference of habitually terrestrial substrates was based on primate forelimb anatomy. Extant large-bodied terrestrial cercopithecine monkeys favor digitigrade hand postures during locomotion. Being able to recognize if a fossil primate habitually adopted digitigrade postures would be most apparent in the terrestrial group. The functional morphologies of primate metacarpals…
