Week 5 Assignment
Week 5 Weblinks Overall the materials in the text and CD-ROM are quite good and provide you with a great overview of the primates. But for those of you who were not satisfied (either because there wasn't enough information or you didn't care for the way it was presented) there are an overwhelming number of sites on the web that deal exclusively with the primates. So I will just steer you toward some particularly good ones (or ones that are my favorites). LIVING LINKS: A Center for the Advanced Study of Ape and Human Evolution

Week 5 Assignment Ancestral traits is related to a primitive character state which reflects on an ancestral condition that does not have diagnostic derived lineages that branches out later (Jurmain, et al. (2012) (p 115), which is more generalized due to the humans using their hands to grasp things, their facing forward eyes to see, and their brains large enough for their body size. Derived characteristics are more from the ancestral conditions or particular evolutionary lineages which are specialized for a specific function, like in humans being our obligate bipedalism and our articulate abstract speech.
