Document Summary
All primates tend to be generalists, although some are specialists at any given time (very versatile) competition. One of the main reasons primates are endangered o . Use of primates movies, circuses (friends ross/marcel) o . Inhumane tactics of taking primates out of the wild and into captivity. The more intelligent the primate the more likely it dies as it has been conditioned to act like a human. Ways in which primates are categorized based on their political structure. Solitary group (smallest social group). must prove it is necessary for animal to live in solitary with only occasional contact with others in their designated area of the forest. Monogamous (pair) group live together, do every together, co-defence, co-parent. Orangutans however often do better groups (fulfilling their social need) o . The more difference in size in humans, tells you the difference of social grouping (their niche) o . The female has extra males around adding protection for the offspring.
