    Description
    This course is an introduction to the study of non-human primates: prosimians; monkeys of the Americas; monkeys and apes of Africa, Asia and Europe. The course focuses on primate behavior and how it relates to the study of human biocultural evolution. Of special concern are the relationships and adaptations of primates to varied environments. The primates at the San Diego Zoo are an integral part of the course. Various observational and data collecting techniques are employed in zoo projects. This course is designed for anthropology majors and/or students interested in anthropology, biology, or zoology.
