ANTC27 – Term Paper Instructions

This paper assignment asks you to focus on a taxonomic group of primates and answer the question:

“Over evolutionary time, have ecological or social constraints been more important in determining the social systems of ___________?”

You must choose either strepsirrhines (i.e., lemurs and lorises), tarsiers, New World monkeys (i.e., monkeys of the Americas), colobine monkeys, cercopithecine monkeys, or the apes (i.e., lesser and great apes). You will use some information that we have learned in class but most of your research will have to be done within the literature. You will need to understand the general social groupings seen in your chosen group and how ecological and social constraints shape social systems. The library webpage or Google Scholar are good places to find articles on your taxonomic group. If you are using Google Scholar on campus, a link on the right will usually take you right to the article.
