http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/factsheets/
The following activity will familiarize you with the characteristics of three primate species. Use Internet sources, information from the textbook, or the library to answer the following questions. Your internet references should be scholarly or trustworthy (no Wikipedia, please!). Websites like this can provide a wealth of useful information:

A scholarly source is a peer-reviewed journal article or book authored by a subject expert, while a dependable source is one that is well-known, such as National Geographic.
Procedure:
Give a definition of the term “primate” first. Answer this question using information from Chapter 5. Then you must choose three distinct primates, one from each of the three categories.
Prosimians, New World Monkeys, and Old World Monkeys are the three categories. This experiment is not open to humans or monkeys. Make a note of the genus and species of each primate.
For each of the eight questions that follow, write a one to four phrase description or statement for each of the primates. This translates to a total of 25 responses from you (1 for the definition and 24 for the answers to each question for the three primate species you choose).
What does it mean to be a primate? (Answer this question using material from Chapter 5)
Where can these creatures be found in the wild around the world?
What kind of environment do they live in?
If there is any sexual dimorphism in these creatures, describe it.
What kind of locomotor pattern do these primates prefer?
What kind of social groups do these creatures usually form?
What types of foods do these animals eat?
What do we know about how they reproduce?
Describe the relationship between these primates and humans, for example,
Are we going to hunt them, keep them as pets, or actively defend them? (At the end of the paper, there is only one response to this question.) You don’t have to respond to this question for each primate.)
Answer your questions using the format outlined here.
List the questions in order of importance, for example, “question #1.”
A) The first primate species to respond
B) The solution for the second primate species is
Answer from the third primate species
Question number two
The first primate species to respond is
etc
Complete sentences should be used in your responses. To show me where you got your knowledge, you must include citations and references. When answering these questions, you should also use proper vocabulary. Each of these papers is worth 25 points, thus each correct answer will earn you one point. When you’re finished, make a list of the sources you utilized to respond to the questions.
Do not use someone else’s work to answer these questions!
