Primate MorphologyStation 1: DentitionStation 2: IdentificationStation 3: LocomotionStation 3: Locomotion con’tStation 4: CraniaStation 5: Sexual DimorphismStation 6: SkeletonsANT 3514 – Introduction to Biological AnthropologyPrimate MorphologyLab 4, Week of 9/15/03Station 1: DentitionWrite down the dental formula for each primate dentition.A.B.C.D.Homework: Which is the New World monkey and why? What other dental characteristics, reviewed in class, differ between New World and Old World monkeys? List a few other differences between New World and Old World monkeys.Station 2: IdentificationUsing what you know about primate classification, which of the following are ...Platyrrhine primates: _________________ __________________Strepsirhine Primates: _________________ ___________________Justify your identification with a morphological character or two.Station 3: LocomotionName two morphological characteristics unique to each of these modes of locomotion:Leaper1.______________ 2.____________________Station 3: Locomotion con’tArboreal Quadruped1. ___________________ 2. _________________________Suspensory Primate1. ___________________ 2. __________________________Station 4: CraniaThese are skulls of a chimpanzee, a human, a baboon and a tree shrew. Describe two differences between:Chimp and human 1. _____________________ 2. _______________________Baboon and chimp 1. _____________________ 2. _______________________Baboon and tree shrew 1. _______________________ 2. _______________________Station 5: Sexual DimorphismGorillas exhibit a strong degree of sexual dimorphism in morphology. Male gorillas havea sagittal crest, a ridge of bone running along the superior portion of the skull which anchors the jaw muscles. Which of these skulls belongs to a female gorilla? What tooth in the dentition is dramatically different? In terms of gorilla social behavior, what might account for these differences? Station 6: SkeletonsHere are skeletons of a human, a macaque, a chimpanzee, and a dog. Using what you learned about human osteology in Lab 2, describe the differences you see in the skeletal regions listed below. How does morphology reflect function (e.g., locomotion)?Vertebral Column & Thorax:Os coxa:Lower
