Humans are the only primates with a lopsided hand preference
Of all the monkeys and apes scientists have studied, no species shows a population-level hand preference. Individual primates often have strong biases, and chimpanzees, gorillas, a...

A surprising new study suggests the earliest primates didn't originate in tropical forests but in cold, dry parts of North America. Some may have even survived seasonal Arctic cond...
Biologists group animals with similar traits into broad categories called orders. Despite their similarities, animal species in the same order can have very different average lifes...
A new study utilizes molecular genetic timelines to validate the "brain lag" hypothesis, proving that primate body growth preceded brain expansion. The analysis expands the theory...
A group of geladas monkeys (Theropithecus gelada), pictured above, huddle to keep warm on a cold day in the Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart, Germany. Endemic to Ethiopia’s cold Afroalpin...
Leipzig Zoo in central Germany is a world-leading center of great ape research. Recent studies have seen chimpanzees there using touchscreen controls to navigate virtual forests an...
Great ape cognition is highly individualized, dynamic, and structurally distinct from human intelligence.
For decades, the scientific community has been deeply invested in unraveling the cognitive mysteries of great apes, seeking insights that might illuminate the evolutionary pathway...
Turns out imagination is not unique to humans. A series of experiments has shown that a language-trained bonobo was able to distinguish real from fake objects and engage in pretend...
The human hand is an evolutionary marvel. While other primates rely on their hands for locomotion and basic grasping, ours can shape tools, manipulate objects, and perform detailed...
It is only the fifth new African monkey identified as a new species in the past 75 years.
A new analysis supports the previously overlooked "brain lag" hypothesis—the idea that, in some primate lineages, the evolution of larger body size preceded the evolution of larg...
The Indri is the largest living lemur and one of the most distinctive primates in Madagascar. It lives only in the eastern rainforests of the island and is known for its striking b...
The new species, Colobus congoensis, may already be endangered
For decades, we’ve thought that childbirth is uniquely challenging for humans, but it turns out that many other primates find the birth process just as difficult
In a groundbreaking revisit to a longstanding debate in evolutionary biology, a new study authored by Robin Dunbar of the University of Oxford has reignited discussions about the d...
