Are Flying Foxes Really Primates?
by Dr. John D. Pettigrew Primates share a half-dozen brain pathways not found in any of the other 20 mammalian orders. These features are quantitative and are believed to reliably distinguish primates from non-primates. They provide a unique signature, enabling us to recognize a primate brain after a set of tests which involve labeling the pathways going from the eye to the brain. Imagine my surprise when I found these features in the brain of a Gray-headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) during a routine investigation! Subsequent work by myself and others confirmed that this is true for all of the flying fox species thus far examined. Flying foxes belong to the order Megachiroptera, commonly referred to as megabats. The nearly 200 species of these bats are vegetarians that feed on fruit and nectar. They are mostly large, with wingspans measuring from two to six feet and navigate by their excellent vision. Recently, working with Dr. Howard Cooper of the INSERM Laboratoire de Neuropsychologie in Lyon, France, we extended the comparison to include more visual nuclei, as well as more species of megabats and more prosimmian primates (lower primates, including lemurs and lorises). Under the microscope, the affinities between megabat and lemur brains are so striking that it is quite difficult to tell them apart! So far as one can tell from the intricate details of the wiring of thousands of nerve cells, primates and megabats shared a common ancestor not shared by any other group of mammals.

by Jill Locantore and Brendan Horton When Koko the gorilla signals in American sign language, “Koko again bad,” after biting a trainer, is she using language to communicate? When the chimpanzee Yeroen acts as though a wound is much more painful than it really is, is he being intentionally deceptive? When Indah the orangutan correctly indicates which pile of grapes is lesser in number, is she doing math? Scientists are hotly debating these questions, but one thing is clear: differences between humans and other primates aren’t as black and white as once was thought. Intelligence appears more a matter of degree, developing gradually throughout the primate lineage rather than sprouting magically when humans first arrived on the scene. Many of the features of our brain that support higher cognitive functions, such as language and mathematics—or at least their precursors—may well be present in ape and monkey brains, and in the brains of long-extinct relatives like the Australopithecines.

There are more 200 species of primates in the world—from humans and apes to monkeys and prosimians ("premonkeys"). Several primate species have been discovered in Brazil and Madagascar in recent years. The Zoo's Primates
The National Zoo is home to a variety of primate species. Orangutans and western lowland gorillas can be found at the Great Ape House. Orangs can also be seen at Think Tank . Smaller primates, including golden lion tamarins, pygmy marmosets, pale-faced saki monkeys, and howler monkeys, can be found in the Small Mammal House . Look for gibbons at Gibbon Ridge and lemurs at Lemur Island Ape or Monkey?
The most obvious differences between apes and monkeys are: apes don't have tails, and they are generally larger than most other primates. Like most rules, this one has exceptions: some monkeys lack tails and some are large. Apes rely more on vision than smell, and their noses are short and broad, rather than snoutlike. Apes, capable of creating tools, have higher intelligence than other primates. LIVE!

Even The New York Times has cribbed from somebody else's paper. Is everybody doing it? Guests include Dr. Howard Gardner , professor in Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and co-director of a large-scale research study called the GoodWork Project; renowned primate researcher Dr. Frans de Waal , professor of psychology at Emory University; Dr. Helen Fisher , research professor in the department of anthropology at Rutgers University and author of Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray ; and country music group , who perform the Hank Williams classic, "Your Cheatin' Heart."

Most have grasping hands, flat nails (instead of claws), and a large brain. Primate mothers carry their young on their bodies until they are weaned; the ties between mother and baby are very strong. There are about 200 species of primates, including monkeys, lemurs, chimps, humans, and others. Primates are divided into three groups:
  • Tree shrews
    • Tupaiidae: Tree shrews
  • Prosimians
    • Cheirogaleidae: Dwarf lemurs
    • Lemuridae: Large lemurs
    • Megaladapidae: Sportive lemurs

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.
