Feeding, Foraging, and the Phylogeny of Large African Monkeys
by W. Scott McGraw
Professor, OSU Department of Anthropology
This talk combines observations of wild primates in West Africa with with laboratory analyses of their bones and teeth to solve a mystery of primate genealogy. We’ll examine new data on feeding ecology, dental structure, and musculo-skeletal anatomy from the world’s largest monkeys and use this information to demonstrate that family relationships are not necessarily what appears on the surface.
