The Primate Freedom Project, established in 1999, is dedicated to ending the use of nonhuman primates in cruel and harmful experimentation and other forms of exploitation. The Primate Freedom Project works by educating the public; advocating for animals currently being experimented on; and supporting organizations and individuals working toward the same goal.

Fossil Primates 1 Dr. Bill Sellars Introduction In the last lecture I tried to give you an outline of primate taxonomy and how humans fit into the taxonomic framework. The next two lectures attempt to fit humans into the evolutionary framework of the primates. Today's lecture concentrates on the evolutionary period from just before the Palaeocene (about 70 mya) to the end of the Miocene (about 5 mya). Tomorrow's lecture will follow on and look at the early hominins in the Pliocene (5 mya) and the Pleistocene (1.5 mya) stopping before the Holocene (10,000 ya) Lecture Outline Palaeocene - plesiadadiformes Late Miocene - Hominids What I'll be presenting is a simplified story of early primate evolution. The fossil record is really very patchy, and although the reconstructions look nice, some are based on rather scanty information. So this is very much conjecture, and will be different in different books. The arguments about which is more likely to be correct rage all the time! Palaeocene - plesiadadiformes Oldest primate The oldest fossil that anyone considers to be primate-like is a animal called Purgatorius ceratops , which consists of a single tooth found in late-Cretaceous rocks in Montana. This is dated to approximately 70 mya.

64. Simian Society Of America A nonprofit organization founded in 1957 to improve the welfare of primates in captivity. http://www.simiansociety.org/

THE SIMIAN SOCIETY OF AMERICA is a non-profit organization founded in 1957 to improve the welfare of primates in captivity. Composed primarily of private caretakers, membership also includes veterinarians, primatologists and zoological officials. The SSA discourages the keeping of primates by individuals who do not understand their complex needs and the multitude of problems associated with keeping them. However, for those committed to providing captive primates with long-term, care-conducive homes, the society offers health, diet, psychological well-being and management information as well as access to a network of experienced primate caretakers. The Society maintains an active network through its monthly publications, a video lending library, educational publications, biennial conventions and local chapters. In addition, the SSA sponsors primate rescue and placement efforts. Through this network, mature, unwanted primates have found permanent homes in wildlife sanctuaries or private collections with necessary permits. For more information contact the SSA at info@simiansociety.com

Fossil Primates 2 Dr. Bill Sellers Introduction Today's lecture will follow on from the previous lecture and look at the last 5 million years of human evolution. In fact, I will concentrate on the Pliocene, and leave the last million years for later, since the human-like animal around then is very human-like indeed, and probably is better discussed by someone who doesn't claim to be a primatologist. Lecture Outline Orientation The Sites The Fossils The Species How it all MIGHT fit together Orientation Australopithecines (Southern Apes) Various species in Africa from 5 to 1 mya Homo habilis (Handy man) Africa: 2 to 1.5 mya Homo erectus (Erect man) Africa, East Asia, South East Asia: 1.8 mya to 100,000 ya Homo sapiens Archaic forms from 400,000 ya, modern forms from 200,000 ya. Africa, Asia, Europe. Australopithecines The Sites and Fossils East Africa East African rift valley system (1,200 miles long) associated with mountain building, faulting and vulcanism over last few million years. Earth movement mean sediments get exposed (Plio-Pleistocene 4 to 1 mya), and volcanic activity causes layers of volcanic ash (tuffs) which can be dated (potassium argon, or fission tracks) accurately. Middle Awash Now very important site called Aramis: Australopithecus ramidus , 4.4 mya. Though there is argument about whether this animal has enough derived features to be an australopithecine (need post-crania to be sure, and post-crania needs to be found in close context with cranial material to confirm species).

The amendment, however, provides few specifics. The Psychological Well-Being of Nonhuman Primates recommends practical approaches to meeting those requirements. It focuses on what is known about the psychological needs of primates and makes suggestions for assessing and promoting their well-being.

Sightings usually occur in mountainous regions and almost exclusively in those which lie in the forest belts of the Earth. Supposedly, according to reports and experts, there are three basic sizes of these creatures: 1. A dwarf or pygmy type, usually between 3 and 5 ft tall. 2. A man-sized one, usually between 5 and 8 ft tall. 3. A giant type, usually between 8 and 15 ft tall (believed by some to be surviving Gigantopithecus , the largest primate that ever walked the Earth, which, according to established science, went extinct 500,000 years ago). These creatures are known by many different names, depending on the continent, country, region, and particular area they are supposedly from.

PRIMATES Wendy Thompson Dr. Leonard: Anthropology 101 University of New Mexico Thank you for visiting my primate page! I am an Anthropology student at the University of New Mexico, and this web site is part of my final project. The Primate order consists of monkeys, apes, and their relatives (including humans). The two suborders of primates are Prosimii, the primitive primates, which include lemurs, tarsiers, and lorises; and Anthropoidea, the advanced primates, which include monkeys, apes and humans. The anthropoids are further divided into New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and Hominids. New World monkeys live in South America, and typically have widespread nostrils that open to the side. Their long tails are prehensile (grasping) in some species. This group of monkeys includes capuchins, tamarins, and squirrel monkeys. Old World monkeys typically have close-set nostrils that open forward or downward and nonprehensile tails. These monkeys live in Africa and Asia, and include langurs, mandrills, macaques, and baboons. Hominids have large brains and no tail. This group includes the apes Chimpanzees, gibbons, gorillas, and orangutans and humans.

NEW YORK (AP) Wanna clone a cow? A Massachusetts company guarantees a healthy calf for $19,000 and two for $34,000. Wanna clone a cat? A California-based company says it's gearing up to offer that service soon, maybe next year. Wanna clone a cute monkey? Good luck. Almost seven years after the birth of Dolly the sheep shocked scientists and lay people, cloning has shown mixed progress. Scientists have achieved it in more than a dozen mammal species, from mice to rabbits, goats, pigs, and horses. They've cloned a calf from a slaughtered cow. They've even cloned a wild sheep from a carcass found in a pasture. But an efficient cloning process still eludes them. Clones are more prone to physical defects than regular animals are. And researchers haven't been able to duplicate monkeys from adult or fetal tissue, a goal that could help medical research.
