3 1 5378 BIAN6513 The course begins with surveying general principles of evolution, biodiversity and systematics, species theory, phylogeny reconstruction and biogeography, and quickly progresses to a consideration of how these apply in turn to lemurs, lorises and galagos, tarsiers, New and Old World monkeys, and apes, because the meaning and relevance of theory are best appreciated in context. Students will be expected to be able to recognise and characterise all the main groups of primates to a limited extent, and a few groups in depth, and to use this as the basis for an understanding of the current conservation crisis. 1 false 10340 <p>Two 30-minute tutorial presentations (30%), two tests (10% each) and 5000 word essay (50%).</p> 1 1 0 Primate Evolutionary Biology 6 6 <p>Groves, C. <em>Primate Taxonomy</em>, Smithsonian Institution Press, 2001.</p> 6 Primate Evolutionary Biology Band 2 NP Biological Anthropology <p>2 hours of lectures, 1 hour of film and 1 hour of tutorial per week</p> 2010
