Anthro Lab 101 Flashcards Histological sections of 14 maxillary and 28 mandibular teeth from four chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) individuals and three molar teeth from three chimpanzees of unknown origin were prepared in accordance with a well-established protocol. Mountain gorillas diet is high in tannins. Like incisors, molars are named after the function they perform. Leopards, large snakes, and big birds of prey will eat gibbons if they can catch these arboreal acrobats. In the Aztec religion, spider monkeys are associated with the god of arts, pleasure, and playfulness. On average, Old World monkeys will reproduce every one to two years, whereas hominoids will reproduce once every four to nine years, depending on the taxon. This group of monkeys can weigh up to 915 kg and have evolved prehensile tails that can hold their entire body weight. They are large and subject to sexual dimorphism, being larger in males than females. This page titled 5.3: Primate Diversity is shared under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by Beth Shook, Katie Nelson, Kelsie Aguilera, & Lara Braff, Eds. Clade relationships are determined using derived traits shared by groups of taxa as well as genetic similarities. Because they are not fast moving, these strepsirrhines have developed alternative defenses against predators. The strepsirrhines include the groups commonly called lemurs, lorises, and galagos (Figure 5.14). Suborder Haplorrhini is divided into three infraorders: Tarsiiformes, which includes the tarsiers of Asia; Platyrrhini, which includes the New World monkeys of Central and South America; and Catarrhini, a group that includes the Old World monkeys and apes of Asia and Africa, as well as humans. Leaf monkeys are also known for having odd noses (Figure 5.35), and so they are sometimes called odd-nosed monkeys. Cheek-pouch monkeys are able to pack food into their cheek pouches (Figure 5.36), thus allowing them to move to a location safe from predators or aggressive individuals of their own species where they can eat in peace. In part, their success over hominoids is due to the faster reproductive rates of cercopithecoids relative to hominoids. Today, the Infraorder Tarsiiformes includes only one genus, Tarsius (Figure 5.21). This trait is characteristic of Old World monkeys. Orangutans are great apes, as opposed to monkeys, and are closely related to humans, having 97% of DNA in common. While many species are nocturnal, plenty of others are diurnal or cathemeral. Great apes have smaller canines than Old World monkeys, though still sexually dimorphic; human canines are smaller still, and there is no size difference between the sexes. As discussed earlier, all hominoids have an extended life history, taking a long time to grow and develop, and have a long life span. Strepsirrhines can be found all across the Old World: in Asia, Africa, and on the island of Madagascar (Figure 5.16). This means looking for the aspects of human biology that lead us to place humans within the taxonomic diversity we have just discussed. There are smart species and stupid species among them (no o all of these are true Question 46 (2 points) Listen What is the upper arm bone called? This is reflected in the wiring in the visual system of the brain but also in their polymorphic color vision. In the Mayan creation story, the Popol Vuh, the hero brothers are actually a howler monkey and a spider monkey, who represent ancestors of humans in the story. Catarrhines are also more terrestrial. Dietary Plasticity - change in diet. Haplorrhines also differ in social behavior. Lack of post orbital bar. These small monkeys, all of which weigh less than 1 kilogram, live in cooperative family groups, wherein usually only one female reproduces and everyone else helps carry and raise the offspring. The larger body size of catarrhines is related to the more terrestrial lifestyle of many members of this infraorder. This dental comb is composed of the lower canines and lower incisors compressed from side to side and slanted forward; the most specialized dental combsseen, for example, in the fork-crowned lemur (genus Phaner) and the needle-clawed galago (genus Euoticus)are used for scraping exudates off bark, but other species use the structure for piercing fruit, for nipping off leaves, and for grooming the fur. I am currently continuing at SunAgri as an R&D engineer. Fighting isnt just a human trait, its part of life for much of the animal kingdom. 3.2 (consisting of 2 incisors, 1 canine, 3 premolars, and 2 or 3 molars). Which primates have a postorbital bar? - Studybuff Leaf monkeys are primarily folivores, with some species eating a significant amount of seeds. There are several species of gorillas that can be found across Central Africa.

RELIGION, Superfamily Hominoidea of Africa and Asia. What are Bilophodont molars? - TipsFolder.com Later, baboons became the totem animal for Thoth, the deity of science, writing, wisdom, and measurement, who also wrote the book of the dead. Compare this to hominoids like the gorillas, who are pretty wide in the chest. Dispersal refers to leaving the area or group where an individual was born. In contrast, all of the catarrhines have 2 premolars and 3 molars, making a dental formula of 2.1.2.3. Other unusual traits of tarsiers include having two grooming claws on each foot and the ability to rotate their heads around 180 degrees, a trait useful in locating insect prey. In fact, each eye of a tarsier is larger than its brain. Canines are present throughout the order but show remarkable variation in size, shape, projection, and function. . Figure 5.40 Catarrhini at a glance: Summary of key traits of the Infraorder Catarrhini as well as the characteristics used to distinguish between the two superfamilies within this group. The Three Wise Monkeys who see no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil derive from Buddhist iconography of monkeys. Among the new world monkeys, the howlers are exceptions cause they're folivores, too. Anthropology Ch 6,7,8 Flashcards | Quizlet Both are found across Southeast Asian tropical forests. All of the traits discussed below are primitive traits, but strepsirrhines do have two key derived traits that evolved after they diverged from the haplorrhines. Tarsiers are small-bodied primates that live in Southeast Asian forests (Figure 5.22) and possess an unusual collection of traits that have led to some debate about their position in the primate taxonomy. When compared to the other haplorrhine infraorders, catarrhines are distinguished by several characteristics. The rhinarium is part of the olfactory system and is therefore associated with the sense of smell. The Order Primates is subdivided into Suborder Strepsirrhini and Suborder Haplorrhini, which, according to molecular estimates, split about 7080 million years ago (Pozzi et al. extinct primate family from the Oligocene of Africa (found in Egypt in the fayum);early catarrhines . A clade is a grouping of organisms that reflect a branch of the evolutionary tree, a grouping based on relatedness. Catarrhines include gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. 4 . Orangutans are highly frugivorous but will supplement their diet with leaves and even bark when fruit is less available. Because molars are flat and larger than our other teeth, they make it easier for us to chew, especially when it comes to tough foods. Homo erectus, which lived all over the world 1.5 million years ago, had larger canines than modern humans. Due to these instructions, both sets of teeth grow when they are supposed to. Molecular estimates place the split between cercopithecoids and hominoids at about 32 million years ago (Pozzi et al. In areas where humans and primates have a long, shared history, non-human primates often play key roles in creation myths and cultural symbolism. Lastly, most strepsirrhines are good at leaping, with several taxa specialized for vertical clinging and leaping. Haplorrhines are generally larger than strepsirrhines, and so we see many more species that are folivorous and frugivorous, and fewer that are insectivorous. Colobinae - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Hominoids also have modified ulnae, one of the two bones in the forearm (see Appendix A: Osteology). For that reason, they often are called the six-year molars. They are among the extra permanent teeth in that they dont replace an existing primary tooth. As you will learn about in Chapter 6, it is more common that males leave. marmosets, tamarins, and some strepsirhines Characteristically, the teeth of Old World monkeys have a function in the maintenance of social order within the group as well as an overtly offensive role; their function as organs of digestion is relatively unimportant. Flanged and unflanged male orangutans represent alternative reproductive strategies, both of which successfully produce offspring (Utami et al. Eventually theyll lose their baby teeth and grow adult teeth! Owl monkeys, which are nocturnal, are monochromatic, meaning that they cannot distinguish any colors. Only one haplorrhine is a vertical clinger and leaper. New World monkeys have broad noses with a wide septum separating outwardly directed nostrils, whereas Old World monkeys have narrow noses with a thin septum and downward-facing nostrils, as do apes and humans. Even without this strong genetic evidence, the African Clade of hominoids share many morphological similarities. The bushmeat and pet trades make these animals valuable at the expense of many animals lives, and in some areas, non-human primates have become pests who raid crop fields and consume valuable foods. We currently know of two exceptions to this pattern among platyrrhines. Old World monkeys have: a. Y-5 molars. It is thought that this molar enabled Old World monkeys to eat a wide range of foods, thus allowing them to live in habitats that apes cannot. Cercopithecoidea is split into two groups, the leaf monkeys and the cheek-pouch monkeys. The dentition pattern of old world monkeys and great apes. The last member of the Hominoidea to discuss is our own taxon, Genus Homo. Humans, too, exhibit these same characteristics. Male gorillas have a large sagittal crest and larger canines compared with females. The torso, shoulders, and arms of hominoids have evolved to increase range of motion and flexibility (Figure 5.9). It is critical to get this treated right away. stratigraphic correlation (Steno's law of superposition), relative age determined by comparing incidence of one event to another; matches strata, dating methods that use predictable chemical changes that occur over time; fluorine dating measures levels of fluorine in bones, a relative dating method that uses the associations of fossils in strata to determine each layer's approximate age; compares fossils first appearance to extinction. Apes (Hominoidea) are a group of primates that includes 22 species. (1) arboreal hypothesis by Smith and Jones, traits adaptations from living in trees, moving from ground to trees caused selective pressure. ), New World analogues of gibbons, have shown that brachiation (with and without prehensile tail) costs more per unit time than . Gibbons have a unique form of locomotion called brachiation. Term. 2014). Referring to molars that have four cusps oriented in two parallel rows, resembling ridges, or 'lophs'. Old World monkeys have this characteristic. About 17 million years ago, these early apes diverged into two distinct groupsthe lesser apes, small-bodied, tree-living creatures represented today by gibbons and siamangs, and the great apes, which include chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutansand humans. The dentition pattern of prosimians and new world monkeys. There are many myths regarding the origins of indris and their relationship to humans, including one where two brothers living in the forest separated, with one brother leaving the forest and becoming a human while the other stayed in the forest to become the indri. They are highly sexually dimorphic (Figure 5.42), with fully developed, flanged males being approximately twice the size of females.
