This project investigates how nighttime foraging ecology shapes social structure in a focal nocturnal primate species. Using night follows, behavioral observations, and mapping of feeding sites, we ...

Pictured here is a chimpanzee from Ngogo in Uganda's Kibale National Park. Bryce Carlson, a Purdue assistant professor of anthropology who studies primate ecology and nutrition in human evolution, ...

Why do primates have big brains? In the Panamanian rainforest, scientists pitted large-brained primates against smaller-brained mammals to find out who was the smartest forager. Max Planck Institute ...

Thanks to our large brains, humans and non-human primates are smarter than most mammals. But why do some species develop large brains in the first place? The leading hypothesis for how primates ...

Primates, including humans, have larger brains than most other mammals, but why? Scientists searching for the answer have long followed a trail pointing to diet—specifically fruit—as the reason for ...
