Primate Cultures [F-21-15]

This course will deal with the learned behaviors of non-human primates. Some short films and a lecture will be used to start a discussion on what these cultures mean, and where we draw the line between human and non-human primates.

Dr Nasser Malit is an Associate Professor of Anthropology, SUNY Potsdam. As a trained paleoanthropologist, his research work covers many areas including the evolution and variation in early apes and humans. He teaches courses in primatology, evolutionary medicine, skeletal biology, forensic anthropology and human evolution.
