Jane Goodall B. Birute Galdikas C. Dian Fossey D. Robert Sapolsky True or False: The earliest primate behavior studies were conducted by psychologists.

Old World Monkeys True or False: ____ The Black and White Colobus is the African equivalent of the Howler. ____ Monkeys can exploit the same area because they eat different things. ____ Different species of monkey sometimes coordinate warning systems. ____ Monkeys born to high-ranking parents have a better chance of becoming high ranked. ____ Toque Macaques use eye fluttering & teeth flashing to attract attention. ____ Female Toque Macaques are fertile all year round. ____ Female Macaques willing mate EXCLUSIVELY with the Alpha Male. ____ Baboons are very picky eaters. ____ Baboon females signal their fertility with swollen pink bottoms. ____ New Baboon Males use high ranked females to gain entry to the group. ____ Grooming is used to maintain friendships. What is the relationship between size of social group and primate brain size? Why are Gelada baboons able to form such large groups? What is the reason (and the purpose) of the red chests on the Gelada Baboons? What do the Gelada's use to compensate for their inability to groom every other baboon in the group?

1. The increased brain size observed in the order Primates demonstrates the importance of intelligence in primate evolution and results in extended periods of nursing and development to accommodate increasing behavioral complexity. 2. The increased brain size observed in the order Primates results in shorter developmental periods to accommodate the necessary energy expenditures of larger brain size. 3. The increased brain size observed in the order Primates results in extended periods of nursing and development to accommodate increasing behavioral complexity. 4. The increased brain size observed in the order Primates demonstrates the importance of intelligence in primate evolution. 5. Territoriality is more likely to occur where resources are plentiful. 6. Territoriality is a behavior seen in all species of primate. 7. Territoriality is only seen among male primates over food. 8. Territoriality can emerge as long as the benefits of defending territory outweigh the costs. 9. A species that invests little to no care in their offspring is called r-selected. (True or False) 10. The least amount of sexual dimorphism would be found associated with the following mating system: a. Single-male polygynous b. Multi-male/multi-female c. Monogamy d. All male 11. Khoratpithecus has been proposed as the ancestor to Gigantopithecus. 12. Khoratpithecus has been proposed as the ancestor to orangutans. 13. Khoratpithecus has been proposed as the oldest fossil in Africa. 14. Khoratpithecus has been proposed as the ancestor to Aegyptopithecus.
