Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

Humans belong to a fascinating and diverse mammalian order, the Primates. This course introduces primate biology in order to foster an understanding about what it means to be a primate and to highlight how humans are similar to and different from our primate kin. Topics include taxonomy, evolutionary history, biogeography, morphology, life history, ecology, behavior, and cognition. Because many primate species are now facing extinction, largely due to human activities, current threats to primates and conservation strategies are also discussed. Prerequisite(s): Biology 101 or 158 or Anthropology 104. Not open to students who have received credit for Biology 248. Enrollment limited to 40. [S] S. Kahlenberg.
