Studying nonhuman primates, the University of Washington neuroscientist has identified important features of the neural underpinnings of learning and memory.

The skull changed shape in different ways than the brain during evolution, according to a new comparative study.

Bonobos eat their aquatic greens, perhaps to get their daily dose of iodine.

The seven primates came into contact with a dye that was used on their mothers, documents reveal.

The function of early hominins’ enlarged brow ridges, and their reduction in size in Homo sapiens, have puzzled paleoanthropologists for decades.

A study finds two species of guenon monkeys in Tanzania have been mating and producing fertile offspring for generations.

The approach, which has never before been successfully attempted in primates, could lead to improved animal models for human biology and disease.
