In lectures on primate behavior, we have discussed a number of species, but keep coming back to baboons, chimpanzees, and marmosets/tamarins. For this assignment I have to discuss the species ecology and behavior. Each question can be answered in one or two paragraphs.
1.) Summarize the behavior of baboons. You need to discuss their habitat, diet, group structure and size, mating system, and typical behaviors. You can effectively answer this question in one medium length paragraph.
2.) Summarize about the behavior of chimpanzees. You need to discuss their habitat, diet, group structure and size, mating system, and typical behaviors. You can effectively answer this question in one medium length paragraph.
3.) Summarize about the behavior of bonobos. You need to discuss their habitat, diet, group structure and size, mating system, and typical behaviors. You can effectively answer this question in one medium length paragraph.
4.) Compare and contrast the behavior of baboons, chimps and bonobos with human behavior (remember to focus on humans in foraging groups)
