SA 9922 - Intro to Primatology

This course will familiarize students with the ‘rules’ and constraints on nonhuman primate social structure, and the diversity and flexibility of primate social behavior. The course will discuss ecological influences and constraints on social structure and behavior, as well as a more detailed examination of different types of behaviors (e.g. aggression, dominance/status-related behaviors, reproduction) and the functions of these behaviors within primate social groups.
