Fossil Primates 1
Fossil primates 1. Dr. Bill Sellars. Introduction. The next two lecturesattempt to fit humans into the evolutionary framework of the primates.
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/chb/lectures/anthl_09.html

Extractions: In the last lecture I tried to give you an outline of primate taxonomy and how humans fit into the taxonomic framework. The next two lectures attempt to fit humans into the evolutionary framework of the primates. Today's lecture concentrates on the evolutionary period from just before the Palaeocene (about 70 mya) to the end of the Miocene (about 5 mya). Tomorrow's lecture will follow on and look at the early hominins in the Pliocene (5 mya) and the Pleistocene (1.5 mya) stopping before the Holocene (10,000 ya) Palaeocene - plesiadadiformes Late Miocene - Hominids What I'll be presenting is a simplified story of early primate evolution. The fossil record is really very patchy, and although the reconstructions look nice, some are based on rather scanty information. So this is very much conjecture, and will be different in different books. The arguments about which is more likely to be correct rage all the time! The oldest fossil that anyone considers to be primate-like is a animal called Purgatorius ceratops , which consists of a single tooth found in late-Cretaceous rocks in Montana. This is dated to approximately 70 mya.

http://www.leeds.ac.uk/chb/lectures/anthl_10.html

Extractions: Today's lecture will follow on from the previous lecture and look at the last 5 million years of human evolution. In fact, I will concentrate on the Pliocene, and leave the last million years for later, since the human-like animal around then is very human-like indeed, and probably is better discussed by someone who doesn't claim to be a primatologist. Orientation The Sites The Fossils The Species How it all MIGHT fit together Various species in Africa from 5 to 1 mya Africa: 2 to 1.5 mya Africa, East Asia, South East Asia: 1.8 mya to 100,000 ya Archaic forms from 400,000 ya, modern forms from 200,000 ya. Africa, Asia, Europe. East African rift valley system (1,200 miles long) associated with mountain building, faulting and vulcanism over last few million years. Earth movement mean sediments get exposed (Plio-Pleistocene 4 to 1 mya), and volcanic activity causes layers of volcanic ash (tuffs) which can be dated (potassium argon, or fission tracks) accurately. Middle Awash Now very important site called Aramis: Australopithecus ramidus , 4.4 mya. Though there is argument about whether this animal has enough derived features to be an australopithecine (need post-crania to be sure, and post-crania needs to be found in close context with cranial material to confirm species).

http://primates.ximian.com/~tigert/new_stock_project/

Extractions: We have been working on a new set of GNOME toolbar icons (also called "stock" icons) because we felt it was time to give GNOME a bit of a new look. It's been years since I did the original stock icons, and my style has changed quite a bit since then, and I noticed some icons were simply not that great. So I ( ) sat down together with Jakub (jimmac) (virtually of course, since he is in .cz and I am in .fi) and we decided it was time to do it. Ximian fully backed us so we could do this on "office hours" (you really want quotes on that one!) so we are happy to show what we have been cooking. So, below you see the results. We tried to make the icons more descriptive and clear, this is why they are not tilted like the older GNOME stock icons are. Note! This work is still in progress, especially since we dont have a definitive, canonical list of what should be in the stock icon repository of gnome, so we will keep adding stuff. Check back often for updates! If you feel we are missing something let us know as soon as possible so we can get these to GNOME CVS! (tigert (at) ximian.com)

http://www.primates.on.net/

Extractions: The Australasian Primate Society is a non-profit scientific society founded in 1982. The objects of the Society are to advance the study of primatology, both academic and applied to promote the ethical and responsible use of non-human primates in scientific research to foster responsible breeding in captivity and importation of non-human primates, consistent with the objects stated above and with the conservation of all primate species Membership is open to any individual or institution working in any area of primate research, or having an interest in primatology Since 1986 the Society has published a quarterly journal Australasian Primatology which is used to disseminate knowledge of primates and for discussion of ideas and items of general interest. There are two areas of publication. One is peer- reviewed scientific papers and the other is short communications which includes regular book reviews. The Australasian Primate Society has raised funds for a wide variety of primate conservation projects.
Of Pigs, Primates, And Plagues: Xenotransplantation Critique
Critique of xenotransplantation.Category Society Issues Health Transplantation Xenotransplantation has led some researchers and federal health officials in the US and elsewhereto consider using animals, such as pigs and nonhuman primates, as alternate
http://www.mrmcmed.org/pigs.html

Extractions: There have been some 55 animal-to-human whole organ transplants attempted since 1906. All have proven unsuccessful, resulting in the suffering and death of all patients and donor animals. The thousands of cross-species experiments (between goats, rats and chickens, rats and hamsters, cats and dogs, pigs and primates) performed since 1906, and continuing today, have not provided reliable information about what would happen to human xenograft recipients. Xenotransplantation is a dangerous and unproven technology. 3. Xenotransplantation Is Expensive Xenotransplantation is riskier and promises to be even more expensive than human-to-human transplantation ($250,000 per operation in 1995, not including the hidden costs of breeding, housing, feeding, medicating, testing, transporting, rendering, and disposing of the waste and remains of herds of transgenic animals). Institute of Medicine figures from 1996 reveal that xenotransplant costs for all patients who need organs could reach $20.3 billion. These costs are beyond the means of the majority of Americans and an already overburdened health care system. If ever successful, the technology would, at best, benefit a small minority of patients (100,000) while dramatically driving up health care costs for all.

http://www.mrmcmed.org/mom.html

Extractions: Experiments at The State University of New York Health Science Center For over 30 years, researchers have forced monkeys to undergo maternal separation or deprivation in order to "model" such human conditions as depression, alcoholism, aggression, and maternal-infant bonding. Three major critiques by Michael Giannelli, Martin Stephens, and Brandon Reines have challenged the scientific underpinnings of this work. An exhaustive review of the literature has not revealed a single attempt by the monkey researchers to address criticisms raised by these scholars. Expanding on the work of Giannelli, Stephens, and Reines, this report focuses on the research of Leonard Rosenblum, which involves exposing monkeys to drug-maternal deprivation combinations in order to "model" human panic disorder. Like other maternal deprivation projects, this research is fundamentally flawed.

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~phyl/anthro/polyandry.html

Extractions: Definition: "Groups in which two or more males mate with a single female during a single breeding season and collaborate to raise her offspring" Cooperative polyandry seems to fly in the face of expectations in two ways- First of all, males are expected to raise their reproductive success by gaining access to females. Females don't maximize reproductive success by getting more males! Secondly, it looks like altruism- one of the males is taking care of offspring not related to him! Why is he being a sucker Cooperative polyandry is pretty rare for these reasons. It occurs in scattered animals- some raptors like hawks and eagles have polyandrous mating systems. Also african hunting dogs. In primates, humans in Asia with traditional cultures have polyandrous mating systems, usually for much the same reasons as callitrichids do, who are the only non-human polyandrous primates. Only a few have been studied; common marmoset, cottontop tamarin, golden tamarin, saddleback tamarin. Characteristics of callitrichids They're the smallest of anthropoid primates; all under 1kg. Generally territorial. Diet is mixed- fruit and small prey items. Some eat gums, especially the marmosets who are specialized gummivores. Another important feature is that they produce twins- about 80% of births are twins. They're only primates who twin routinely.
