Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian native Mountain gorillas inhabit the montane cloud forest of the Virunga range. Occasionally they go into the Afro-Alpine meadows (4000m) where temperatures are subfreezing at night and there is little sutable food to forage on. Terrestrial Biomes: rainforest mountains Mass Gorillas are the largest primate, ranging in size from 150cm for females and 185 for males. They are highly dimorphic with femlaes weighing 70-114 kg and males averaging 160kg. They have robust bodies, long muscular arms, short legs, massive heads, and males have large sharp canine teeth. Mountain gorilla coats are silky and long, ranging in color from blue-black to brownish-grey. Mature males develop a large patch of silver or grey hair on their backs, giving them the name silverbacks. Males also have apocrine glands in their armpits that emit a strong odor when the animal is under stress.

(Johnston, 1993) Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian native Western lowland gorillas live among trees deep within the tropical rainforest of mid-west Africa. Terrestrial Biomes: rainforest Mass Western lowland gorillas can be up to 6 feet tall when standing and can weigh up to 450 pounds. They have a broad chest, muscular neck, and strong hands and feet. Short, thin, grey-black to brown-black hair covers the entire body except the face. A thick ridge of bone juts out above the eye and the nostrils are flared. In comparison to mountain gorillas, western lowland gorillas have wider and larger skulls. Also, the big toe of western lowland gorilla individuals is spread far apart from the alignment of the remaining four toes, when compared to the alignment in mountain gorillas.

Fossil Hominids
Summary of species, proposed taxonomy and timeline for fossil hominids.
http://www.snowcrest.net/goehring/a2/primates/fossils.htm

Extractions: (jim.foley@symbios.com) The word "hominid" refers to members of the family of humans, Hominidae, which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. (Some scientists use a broader definition of Hominidae which includes the great apes.) Hominids are included in the superfamily of all apes, the Hominoidea, the members of which are called hominoids. Although the hominid fossil record is far from complete, and the evidence is often fragmentary, there is enough to give a good outline of the evolutionary history of humans. The time of the split between humans and living apes used to be thought to have occurred 15 to 20 million years ago, or even up to 30 or 40 million years ago. Some apes occurring within that time period, such as Ramapithecus, used to be considered as hominids, and possible ancestors of humans. Later fossil finds indicated that Ramapithecus was more closely related to the orang-utan, and new biochemical evidence indicated that the last common ancestor of hominids and apes occurred between 5 and 10 million years ago, and probably in the lower end of that range (Lewin, 1987). Ramapithecus therefore is no longer considered a hominid. The field of science which studies the human fossil record is known as paleoanthropology. It is the intersection of the disciplines of paleontology (the study of ancient lifeforms) and anthropology (the study of humans).

Extractions: A single species, Homo sapiens , is nearly worldwide in distribution. Otherwise other members of the order are found in the Americas from eastern and southern Mexico to southeastern Brazil, most of Africa, Madagascar, the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, south-central and southeastern Asia, Japan and the East Indies as far as Sulawesi and Timor. Walker includes 13 Families, 71 genera and 233 species within the Order Primates. Since humans are themselves primates, the order has attracted much interest and investigation, and there are numerous views on classification, especially between the order and family levels.

A Comparison Of Some Similar Chimpanzee And Human Behaviors

http://www.jqjacobs.net/anthro/paleo/primates.html

Extractions: A Comparison of Some Similar Chimpanzee and Human Behaviors Bonobo Peace Keeping Description: Aggressive behavior is typical of most primates. Gorillas, humans and chimpanzees kill members of their own species. The need for social and physical contact is also characteristic of most primates. Species that live in groups need to reconcile aggression. Social groups require some form of conflict resolution. Sexual behavior is one such mechanism to overwhelm aggression. Bonobo sex life is divorced from reproduction and also serves the functions of pleasure and conflict resolution. Females are in a sexually attractively state most of the time, and almost continuously sexually active. Sexual activity is very frequent. Males, females and juveniles all engage in erotic activity. Age and gender are not sexual boundaries among the Bonobo. A typical sexual pattern is genital rubbing between adult females. Erotic contacts in bonobos includes oral sex, genital massage and intense tongue-kissing. Whereas in most other species sexual behavior is a fairly distinct category, in the Bonobo it is part and parcel of social relations. Sex seems to cement Bonobo bonds. Females use sex to form alliances against males. Consequently males do not dominate females or coerce them sexually. Bonobo culture is female-centered, egalitarian and substitutes sex for aggression.

INTRODUCTION TO primates KATHRYN WULLSTEIN AND RICHARD EFFLAND MESACOMMUNITY COLLEGE. All primates share a suite of physical features
http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/~reffland/anthropology/anthro2003/origins/primates/

Extractions: All primates share a suite of physical features that allows them to be classified into the taxonomic order, Primatae. It is hard to imagine that man shares similar features with monkeys, but we do. There are specializations of the limbs, eyes, nose, brain, teeth and social behavior that are found in all primates. The features primates share originally helped them to climb on small, thin branches of trees. Not every primate today lives on the smaller branches of the forest, but the adaptations for that environment has allowed them to be successful in other environments. As you will learn, the degree to which these shared physical features are expressed, varies. This shows the genetic distances between Hominoids. Note that Chimpanzees are actually closer to humans genetically than to Orangutans and the same genetic distance from Gorillas. Orangutans are the most different from humans genetically yet relatively closer to Chimpanzees. Try to think what these relationships may mean.
