ANTH-B 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Stereopsis, Catarrhini, Dentition
Document Summary
Describe as many as you can, you should be able to name at least eight. Nocturnal: these primates don"t have much color vision, no need because hard to distinguish color in low light. Question #2: describe the major differences between the prosimians (minus. Tarsiers) and the anthropoids, between the platyrrhines and catarrhines, and between cercopithecoids (old world monkleys) and hominoids. You should be able to name at least four differences between each pair. Provide an example of a primate species who is a member of each of these groups (e. g. , a primate who is a. Prosimian vs. a primate who is an anthropoid. A primate who is a platyrrhine vs. one who is a catarrhine). Yes, there is some overlap between these categories all platyrrhines and catarrhines are anthropoids, for example so it is ok to repeat species, as long as you put them in the right category. Prosimian v. anthropoid/ old world monkey v. hominid/ platyrrhines v cattarrhines.
