Primate Observation Report

247 Words1 Page

I believe, during the short time that I have spent with my species, that I conflicted feelings about whether or not I have a decent idea of the species behavioral patterns. On one hand I am confident in my finding due to the fact that the primate engaged in the same behaviors a great number of times as I observed them. But on the other hand Mercury was the most active so saying that the species, as a whole, all act this way is incorrect and a foolish scientific method. I know that an hour is nowhere near as many hours as professionals take when they do their jobs. It can take months to even years to even get an ounce of any idea of how primates are and their social interactions. If it were not for their, already, passed off knowledge that they

    The article I have chosen was written by Helen Pilcher and is about evolution of creatures, especially for primates. However, until now, what do our very first primates were like still remain mysterious as we do not have sufficient information and evidences which are 60 million years ago. Yet, we still cannot deny that evolution occurs in creatures. No matter for humans, animals or plants, all of them will make changes because of their living habits and environment in order to survive. In this article, the author explains everything clearly about the primate evolution was taken around million years ago and ancestors are a small and nocturnal creature.

  • The First Hominin Split: First Primates

    102 Words  | 1 Pages

    Hominin Split: They were the first primates that left the trees and stood up in grassland approximately 7 to 6 million years ago. They were called spilt because this separates hominins which are basically any primates that stands at least part time from other primates like Chimpanzees, apes, Gorillas and etc. They were historically important because they were the first primates to stand up in grass land so that they can hunt and survive their life more easily comparing to other primates who didn’t stand up and which gives us idea about that from them evolution of modern man have started gradually.

  • Primate Calls By Kate Arnold1 And Klaus Zuberbühler

    977 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Semantic combinations in primate calls, Kate Arnold1 & Klaus Zuberbühler show that in some cases vocalizations are even combined to form a new signal, and these vocalizations vary depending on the external stimulus. It is clear that primates have a certain ability to understand each other’s calls. Caesar's howl sounds different enough from other noises he makes in the movie, suggesting the director wanted this particular noise to exist as the “I am in danger” noise, just as real-world primates may make a different sound when in immediate danger. Shortly after making this call, Caesar's friend and advisor, Koba, runs over along with some other apes. Koba jumps off of a ledge wielding a spear-like branch, and plants it deep into the bear.

  • Geology And Primate Origins

    196 Words  | 1 Pages

    When reading in chapter 9 about “Geology and Primate Origins”, I came to a decision to choose the relative dating techniques. It is dating techniques that establish the age of a fossil only in comparison to other materials found above and below it. Relative dating techniques use the principles of stratigraphy to tell us how old something is in relation to something else without applying an actual chronological age. An example of this technique is biostratigraphy (faunal correlation), biostratigraphy is a relative dating technique using the comparison of fossils from different stratigraphic sequences to estimate which layers are older and which are younger; employed in the Early Pleistocene deposits at Olduvai and other African sites. The prime

  • Insanity In Primate Research

    Many Primates go insane, rocking back and forth, pacing endlessly in the cages, and engaging in repetitive motions such as back-flipping. The primates also self harm themselves by tearing out their own hair or biting their own flesh. There was video footage taken inside Covance, the University of Utah, and the Oregon National Primate Research Center illustrates the extent of the insanity that can result when primates are completely deprived of meaningful sensory stimulation. The procedures they do to primates are Pharmaceutical tests which is a thick gavage tubes are forced up primates’ nostrils or down the animals’ throats so that experimental drugs can be pumped into their stomach, Vaccine tests is when chimpanzees and rhesus monkey are given

  • Weather Effects On The Evolution Of Primate

    The climate and it's different variable had many effects on the evolution of primates. It's obvious that when the weather changes, migration is necessary. When the weather changed, primates had to migrate, causing adaption to different environments. With each migration, new habitats were exposed to primates, giving them new ways of life. Enviornment change exposes new foods and new living accomidations.

  • Nonhuman Primate Evolution

    Climate change influenced nonhuman primate evolution in a variety of ways. Around 55 mya, a serious period of global warming occurred just as euprimates were beginning to appear. Our book discusses how this rapid temperature increase created tropical weather conditions all across the globe. As a result, new habits were created and there was "an adaptive radiation of modern-appearing primates, the euprimates" (Larsen 260). In other words, the high global temperatures paired with the humidity let to the spread of tropical forests.

  • Theories Of Early Primate Evolution

    215 Words  | 1 Pages

    Throughout the years, primate evolution has been influenced by climate changes. This is because the bodies of these creatures have adapter over the years to the conditions surrounding their environment. Influences include the upright walking adaptation that was mainly an adaptation associated with dried habitats to not receive heat over their backs. The theories of early primate evolution include: the arboreal theory, the visual predation theory, and the angiosperm radiation theory.

    In Penang Island, there are two diurnal primate species, the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) and the dusky leaf monkey (Trachypethicus obscurus). Both of these species are Old World Monkeys. The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis), which is also known as crab-eating macaque is widely distributed in tropical mainland and insular Southeast Asia (Fooden 1995), belongs to Cercopithecinae family. They can be found in a wide variety of habitats such as mangrove forests, primary and secondary forests, freshwater swamps, peat swamps. They can even be found in agriculture areas and villages that are near the forests, national parks, recreational parks, tourist attractions.

  • Primate Climate Changes

    210 Words  | 1 Pages

    Through history there has been evidence to help support the claim that climate change has influenced the evolution of primates. Scientific evidence has proven that during certain climate spikes such as the swamp age, apes in the given territories that encompassed Africa led a migration to the Asia and Europe territories. The same climate changes that was responsible for the creation of the Swiss Alpes and other phenomena, has been associated with the adaptation, extinction, and migration. As weather changed in certain areas, the land became more dry making it harder to obtain and hunt food. Climate change, in theory, led to the extinction of the Sivapithecids apes because of the inability that the species has to obtaining food.

Then the dad made the wish, “‘I wish my son alive again” (Jacobs 8). This means that they made a wish for their son to come back with a magical monkey’s paw that grants wishes just like in the story of “Aladdin.” As a general rule, if someone has some way to bring someone back they will and it will work.

For the Great Ape Project they are basically setting laws and higher standards for primates to me experimented on or held captive.

    Studying captive primates can help us learn not only how they behave, but also how they are similar or different to each other and humans as well as give us insight into the effects of captivity. This paper will be describing, comparing, and contrasting the behavior of two species of captive primates at the Alexandria Zoo, golden lion tamarins and howler monkeys, as well as discussing the possible effects captivity could have had on them. This paper will also discuss any human-like behaviors observed in the two primate species and what we as humans could learn about our own behavior by studying primates. The two primates I observed were 1 of 3 golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia) all of unknown gender and a solitary female howler
