When and from what mammalian group did primates originate? This question cannot yet be answered as accurately as students of Cretaceous and early Tertiary mammals would like. Although the evidence is still fragmentary and meager, however, the beginnings of primate radiation and their origin can be relatively well recognized.

Accelerated Evolution of the ASPM Gene Controlling Brain Size Begins Prior to Human Brain Expansion [PDF]
Primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global reduction in cerebral cortical volume. The microcephalic brain has a volume comparable to that of early hominids, raising the possibility that some MCPH genes may have ...

Differentiation of Trichuris species using a morphometric approach [PDF]
Trichuris trichiura is a nematode considered as the whipworm present in humans and primates. The systematics of the genus Trichuris is complex. Morphological studies of Trichuris isolated from primates and humans conclude that the species infecting these

Response to novel objects and foraging tasks by common marmoset (Callithrix Jacchus) female Pairs [PDF]
Many studies have shown that environmental enrichment can significantly improve the psychological well-being of captive primates, increasing the occurrence of explorative behavior and thus reducing boredom.

Primate photopigments and primate color vision. [PDF]
The past 15 years have brought much progress in our understanding of several basic features of primate color vision. There has been particular success in cataloging the spectral properties of the cone photopigments found in retinas of a number of primate species and in elucidating the relationship between cone opsin genes and their photopigment ...

Primate archaeology evolves [PDF]
Since its inception, archaeology has traditionally focused exclusively on humans and our direct ancestors. However, recent years have seen archaeological techniques applied to material evidence left behind by non-human animals. Here, we review advances made by the most prominent field investigating past non-human tool use: primate archaeology.
