ZOO 102 Primates 3 Credit Hours • 67.5 Contact Hours
(Lecture/Lab Combination) Investigate evolutionary concepts and
trends including primate fossil records. Students will examine
the taxonomic classification of primates and primate history and
participate extensively in behavioral studies that require the
acquisition and assemblage of data. Students will gain
successful understanding of primate groups, morphology,
adaptations, social structures, and conservation issues
affecting a multitude of species. Exploring primatology in a
thorough study will enable students to compare and contrast
learned behaviors from a variety of other animal species as well
as adapt techniques from a psychological perspective.
