Extractions: Science of Everyday Things Science in Dispute Science and Technology Primates forum ... Ph-Py The mammals (warm-blooded animals) called primates include the lower primates (lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers) and the higher primates (monkeys, apes, and humans). Mostly occurring in tropical areas, primates first evolved more than 50 million years ago from shrewlike, insect-eating mammals. Many present-day primates are arboreal (tree-dwellers), with long, agile limbs for climbing and four fingers and an opposable thumb covered by nails for grasping branches. (An opposable thumb is one that is able to be placed against the other fingers.) The eyes of primates are located in the front of their heads, allowing depth perception. Their diet consists of fruit, leaves, stems, buds, and insects, although some primates are carnivores (meat-eaters). Primates have large brains, with the higher primates showing a marked intelligence. The lower primates, including the lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers, were the first primates, occurring in North America, Europe, and Asia. Lemurs now occur only on Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa. They are mostly tree-dwelling, nocturnal (active at night) animals with a moist snout (nose) and a long, furry tail. Lorises are slow-moving, tailless, and nocturnal and live in trees. They are found in southeast Asia and Africa. Tarsiers are small primates with large bulging eyes and a long, thin, naked tail. They are mainly tree-dwelling, nocturnal creatures of the islands of southeast Asia.

Social Behavior In Primates: Personality Traits
Theory based on Mendelian genetics predicts that personality traits can be traced in ancestral hominid lineages. Reference to nonhuman primates.
http://primate_behaviour.homestead.com/

Extractions: We identify three traits that are transmitted in humans in a Mendelian fashion: narcissism (N), perfectionism (P) and aggression (A). We believe that the genetic loci corresponding to these traits will soon be identified. Thus, DNA analyses in the near future will allow one to trace personality traits and even personality types in ancestral hominid lineages. The trait of perfectionism is not a basic drive of ambition and is not associated with a rage reaction. Rather it is a mediator of the unbridled drives of aggression and/or narcissism. The stereotypic acts associated with the trait of perfectionism are obsessiveness, compulsiveness, repetition, and the maintenance of neatness, order and symmetry. It is concluded that certain autistic and schizophrenic individuals are those in whom the two components of ambition, i.e., aggression and narcissism, have been suppressed by genetic or environmental factors, either congenitally, in childhood, or after maturity, thus revealing in the individual a primitive state of perfectionism.

Search: DGMQ Home Importation of Pets, Other Animals, and Animal Products into the United States Imported monkeys and other nonhuman primates (NHP) are essential for scientific and exhibition use. The health and safety hazards associated with exposure to NHP are well documented. Exposure to imported NHP presents potential infectious disease risks, which may include emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola-Reston, B Virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1), monkeypox, yellow fever, Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, tuberculosis, and other diseases not yet known or identified. Since 1975, the Federal Quarantine Regulations (42CFR71.53) have restricted the importation of NHP. Importers must register with the CDC, implement disease control measures, and may distribute NHP for only bona fide scientific, educational, or exhibition purposes, as defined in the regulations*. Importation of NHP for use as pets is not permitted under any circumstances. These restrictions also apply to the re-importation of NHP originating in the United States. Foreign Quarantine Regulations Relating to NHP Other Federal, State, and Local authorities have regulations that apply to NHP.

http://www.bowdoin.edu/~dbensen/Spec/Primates-Af.html

Extractions: In both Spec and our home timestream, primates evolved at the cusp of the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary. Fragmentary evidence from Home-Earth (none has yet been found in Spec) suggests simian precursors in the latest Cretaceous, but these fossils (called Purgatorius ) are only tentatively assigned to Primates. These climbers may, therefore, have evolved after the end of the Cretaceous, in which case their presence on Spec is yet another example of parallelism and the primate-like creatures of Spec should be properly called p-Primates. However, since even the exhaustively analyzed primate fossil record of Home Earth remains unclear on the matter, most researchers are content to group both Spec and our own primate species into a single clade. The first good primate fossils on either world turn up in the Paleocene, from strata 50 million years old, and show generalized tree-climbers, creatures with stereoscopic vision, opposable digits on hands and feet, and a slew of other features useful in an arboreal life. In both Spec and our home timeline, these little climbers spread across Asia and North America, and soon began to diversify. Spec's change in primate evolution, the switch that failed to turn on, occurred some time during the Eocene, still early in the Cenozoic. At this point in our home timeline, the first primates had split into two lineages, the adapids (which would later give rise to the lemurs and lorises) and the omomyids (the ancestors of tarsiers, monkeys, and apes). In Spec, no such split occurred; the omomyids never evolved.

Extractions: By Robin Lloyd , LiveScience Senior Editor posted: 23 February 2007 01:21 pm ET Share this story The lineages of humans and chimpanzees, our closest relatives, diverged from one another about 4.1 million years ago, according to a new estimate that is said to be far more precise than previous ranges for this critical evolutionary moment. However, the claim is a bad match with previous estimates based on fossil evidence and other genetic work. Asger Hobolth of North Carolina State University and his colleagues arrived at the new estimate of " the time we became human ," or the time in the past when descendents of the human-chimp ancestor split into human and chimp, by statistically comparing DNA from four regions of the human, chimp and gorilla genomes. Timeline of Human Evolution The timeline of human evolution is long and controversial, with significant gaps. Experts do not agree on many of the start and end points of various species. So this chart involves significant estimates. The new divergence date is considered fairly recent, maybe too much so. Previous estimates, based on fossil evidence, put the most recent

http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/dept/d10/asb/anthro2003/origins/primates/index.html

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.
Transitional Vertebrate Fossils FAQ: Part 2A

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional/part2a.html

Extractions: Part 2B The Cenozoic fossil record is much better than the older Mesozoic record, and much better than the very much older Paleozoic record. The most extensive Cenozoic gaps are early on, in the Paleocene and in the Oligocene. From the Miocene on it gets better and better, though it's still never perfect. Not surprisingly, the very recent Pleistocene has the best record of all, with the most precisely known lineages and most of the known species-to-species transitions. For instance, of the 111 modern mammal species that appeared in Europe during the Pleistocene, at least 25 can be linked to earlier European ancestors by species-to-species transitional morphologies (see Kurten, 1968, and Barnosky, 1987, for discussion).
