PSY470

This course examines the extensive diversity of the living primates, including aspects of their behavior and ecology, with emphasis on natural history and adaptation to the environment. The course begins with an introduction to the primates, their evolution, taxonomy, and adaptations, and then delves into the ways in which individuals interact with each other as well as ecological factors, to yield the various societies and strategies we see among primates in nature. We will also consider how our studying of living primates can help us gain insight into human adaptation and behavior.
