Effects of a Riverine Dispersal Barrier on Cultural Similarity in Wild Bornean Orangutans (Pongo Pygmaeus Wurmbii)
(2008-08-28)The study of culture in wild animals has received wide theoretical and empirical attention, providing preliminary evidence of at least rudimentary culture across a broad range of taxa. However, the majority of previous studies ... -
Evaluating the Hominin Scavenging Niche through Analysis of the Carcass-Processing Abilities of the Carnivore Guild
(2008-08-08)Humans are more carnivorous than other hominoids. It has been hypothesized that, during the evolution of this increased carnivory, hominins transitioned through a scavenging niche made viable by certain carnivoran taxa ... -
Evolutionary Relationship between Life History and Brain Growth in Anthropoid Primates
