4 credits · STEM+, ESI
In-depth examination of the relationship between primate anatomical form and function, with an emphasis on adaptations to locomotion and diet. Topics covered by lecture and lab assignments include primate musculoskeletal anatomy, natural selection and adaptation, methods in functional morphology, primate diet and locomotion, and the reconstruction of behaviors in extinct primates. Students will write a research proposal to investigate an area of study in primate functional morphology. Formerly offered as ANP 410. Not for credit in addition to ANP 410.
