This is an intermediate course in primatology and theories of social behavior. Although the focus will be ethological, we will also consider primate biology, ecology, and biogeography. Aspects of primate behavior that will be considered include social organization, aggression, dominance, the mother- infant bond, play, sex roles, and intergroup relationships. We will also examine attempts to teach language to non-human primates and will consider the use of pri- mates in models of human evolution. Prerequisite: ANT 102K or permission of instructor. Cr 3.
