A baby monkey struggles and squirms as it tries to escape the man holding it by the neck over a concrete cistern, repeatedly dousing it with water. In another video clip, a person plays with the ...
New World monkeys are the five families of primates that are found in the tropical regions of Mexico, Central and South America: Callitrichidae, Cebidae, Aotidae, Pitheciidae, and Atelidae. The five families are ranked together as the Ceboidea (/ səˈbɔɪdi.ə /), the only extant superfamily in the parvorder Platyrrhini (/ plætɪˈraɪnaɪ /).
Evolution of color vision in primates. Baboons, like other old world monkeys and apes, have eyes which can discern blue, green and red wavelengths of light. The evolution of color vision in primates is highly unusual compared to most eutherian mammals. A remote vertebrate ancestor of primates possessed tetrachromacy, [1] but nocturnal, warm ...
The capuchin monkeys (/ ˈkæpjʊ (t) ʃɪn /) are New World monkeys of the subfamily Cebinae.

Geoffroy, 1812.

The monkeys are native to South and Central American forests.
The aquatic ape hypothesis (AAH), also referred to as aquatic ape theory (AAT) or the waterside hypothesis of human evolution, postulates that the ancestors of modern humans took a divergent evolutionary pathway from the other great apes by becoming adapted to a more aquatic habitat. [1] While the hypothesis has some popularity with the lay ...
The evolution of human intelligence is closely tied to the evolution of the human brain and to the origin of language. The timeline of human evolution spans approximately seven million years, [ 1 ] from the separation of the genus Pan until the emergence of behavioral modernity by 50,000 years ago. The first three million years of this timeline ...
