COURSE NAME: Living Primate Adaptations

Estimated ENROLMENT: 60

BASIC DUTIES: All duties associated with teaching an undergraduate course, including the supervision of any assigned TA support, and the completion of any course work and grading not completed by April 30, 2008.

General Course Description: This course consists of a survey of living primates and a review of the evolutionary history of the Order Primates. The course describes the behavioural and anatomical adaptations that are characteristic to this order of mammals, and examines the fossil record of this group for the last 60 million years. This lab-oriented course compares the anatomy and adaptations of modern primates with the abundant and diverse primate skeletal material preserved in the fossil record. The understanding of the biological diversity and the evolutionary history of primates is important for further understanding of human adaptations and evolution.
