Overview
Primates are an order of mammals that includes humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs, and related species. They are characterised by relatively large and complex brains, forward-facing eyes with stereoscopic vision, grasping hands and often feet, and elaborate social behaviour. Primates inhabit a wide range of environments and are studied intensively for what they reveal about evolution, behaviour, cognition, and human biology, since humans share close ancestry with the other members of the order. Within the journal's scope, research has explored the comparative and evolutionary biology of primates, including studies of human and primate chromosome 4, an analysis correlating fractal signatures of human chromosome 1 with intelligence and brain evolution, and a comparative anatomical study of mandibular neurovascular canals in modern humans and great apes. Such work examines the genetic and anatomical features that distinguish primate species and traces the evolutionary relationships among them, including humans. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to primates, supporting primatologists, anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, and students interested in the biology, anatomy, and evolution of this group of mammals.
