Fossil Primates 1
Fossil primates 1. Dr. Bill Sellars. Introduction. The next two lecturesattempt to fit humans into the evolutionary framework of the primates.
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/chb/lectures/anthl_09.html

Extractions: 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) 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! 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.
Simian Society Of America

http://www.simiansociety.org/

Extractions: 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.

http://www.leeds.ac.uk/chb/lectures/anthl_10.html

Extractions: 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. Orientation The Sites The Fossils The Species How it all MIGHT fit together Various species in Africa from 5 to 1 mya Africa: 2 to 1.5 mya Africa, East Asia, South East Asia: 1.8 mya to 100,000 ya Archaic forms from 400,000 ya, modern forms from 200,000 ya. Africa, Asia, Europe. 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).

Extractions: "Working Safely with Nonhuman Primates" was produced by the NIH Office of Animal Care and Use in 1999 for training staff in the NIH intramural research program. This video has a strong emphasis on proper use of personal protective equipment combined with understanding nonhuman primate behavior, and the general principals are applicable to any program that houses nonhuman primates. It is provided here as a resource to extramural animal care and use programs. Available formats

Extractions: Navigation Info More beast than man apelike creatures that allegedly have been sighted for centuries all over the world, but who's existence has never been convincingly proven. 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.

Extractions: Dr. Ungar received his BA (1985) in Anthropology at the State University of New York at Binghamton in and his MA (1989) and PhD (1992) in Anthropological Sciences at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He served as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1992-1993, and as a Research Associate in the Department of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy at the Duke University Medical Center from 1993 to 1995.

He joined the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arkansas in 1995. Research Dr. Ungar's research focuses in part on determining relationships between diet and the sizes, shapes and wear of teeth in living primates. This work helps form a baseline that allows him and others to reconstruct the diets and feeding behaviors of early human ancestors and other fossil primates. He is also interested in the application of

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.

Monkeys are divided into two geographically separate groups - the New World monkeys of South America and the Old World monkeys, found in Africa and Asia. The Old World monkeys include some terrestrial species such as the baboons, while New World monkeys are exclusively arboreal. Some New World monkeys have a prehensile, or grasping, tail. The tail can be used like a hand. Snow Monkey Weight: 8 to 13 kilos.
