Primatology is the study of the biology, behavior, and evolution of prosimians, monkeys, and apes. We will specifically investigate the evolution of social systems, social behavior, cognitive abilities, and culture in primates. Prosimians, monkeys, and apes live in a variety of social systems, within which we can examine issues such as reproductive strategies, the behavioral diversity within and between their social units, and aspects of intelligence and culture. This can be achieved through comparisons of different populations of the same species and comparisons between different closely related species. Particularly intriguing are the differences between apes and humans concerning fundamental social-cognitive processes including communication, cooperation, social interaction, conflict resolution behaviors, and social learning. Research in the course will use a descriptive, comparative approach referred to as naturalistic observation. The core of this course will be in observation of primates at the Little Rock Zoo; student attendance and participation is mandatory for successful completion of the course. Prequisite: PSYC 3332. On demand.
