When you have completed Anthropology 310, you should understand
- the social and physical diversity that exists within the order Primates.
- how the interplay of natural selection, environmental factors and behavioural adaptations affects non-human primates.
- the determinants of social behaviour, and the influence of ecology on behaviour.
- the relationship between environmental factors, social behaviour and the evolution of primate cognitive skills.
- problems related to the conservation of wild primate populations, and the solutions of those problems.
- how non-human primates help us to understand the evolution of our own species, Homo sapiens.
