In mammals, social behavior and social status can substantially influence the survival, reproductive performance, and health of individuals. However, it is not yet fully understood how the translation ...

Nonhuman primates are our closest living relatives, and no other group of mammals can remind us of ourselves the way nonhuman primates do. We will start this course by examining the phylogeny, ...

Adaptation and behavior in the primate fossil record / Callum F. Ross ... [et al.] -- Functional morphology and in vivo bone strain patterns in the craniofacial region of primates: beware of ...

New research on primate social structures and brain anatomy is offering deeper insights into the evolutionary pathways of humans. Studies on baboons, macaques, and chimpanzees reveal complex social ...

Humans are far from the only primates engaging in same-sex sexual activity. A new study found instances in which 59 nonhuman primate species, including bonobos, chimpanzees and macaques, have taken ...

Humans aren’t the only creatures engaging in same-sex sexual activities. To date, scientists have documented around 1,500 species, including whales, birds and fish, engaging in such behavior. Now, an ...

Cooperative behaviour and prosociality in nonhuman primates constitute a vital area of research that illuminates the evolutionary origins of complex sociality. Studies indicate that primates employ a ...

A group of monkeys is challenging humans’ views on sexuality by showing that same-sex behavior among males strengthens their social networks and may even help them father more offspring. The findings, ...

The graduate program in biological anthropology at CU Boulder offers training in several areas, including primatology, human biology, and paleoanthropology. We share an interest in human ecology, the ...

Observations of a wild colony of macaques over three years show same-sex sexual behavior among males is widespread and may be beneficial. The results, published today in Nature Ecology and Evolution, ...
