These papers were first presented as a symposium at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Boston, Dec. 27, 1953. They were published in the Sept. 1954 issue of ...

We generated genome assemblies — models of genomes that are created by pasting together short lengths of sequenced DNA — for 187 primate species 3. We then aligned the whole human genome to assemblies ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

A team in the Hübner and Diecke Labs at the Max Delbrück Center have shown how human and non-human primate hearts differ genetically. The study, published in “Nature Cardiovascular Research,” reveals ...

Introduction -- A brief history of primatology and human evolution -- The catarrhine fossil record -- Primate speciation and extinction -- Anatomical primatology -- Captive studies of non-human ...

Scientists researching primates, called "primatologists," have learned a lot over the years about our closest evolutionary ...

A group of international scientists have mapped the genetic, cellular, and structural makeup of the human brain and the nonhuman primate brain. This understanding of brain structure allows for a ...

AMES, Iowa – A new study from an Iowa State University biologist shows that menopause in mid-life is a uniquely human phenomenon among primates. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National ...

A single injection of a novel CRISPR gene-editing treatment safely and efficiently removes SIV -- a virus related to the AIDS-causing agent HIV -- from the genomes of non-human primates, scientists ...

We humans are nothing if not inventive. Our innovations have come to underpin virtually every facet of daily life—from what we eat to how we communicate. This ingenuity is intrinsically linked to both ...
