Description
Class Experience
Students will be able to tell a primate from a non-primate by an animal’s morphology (looks) and behavioral traits. Learners will also find out the path they’ll need to follow to become a professional primatologist in the field, a zoo, or another setting.
Dr. Orlando has taught college-level introductory primatology classes at UCLA and a number of other colleges since 2007.
Homework 1: show where some primate species live on a world map Homework 2: list 5 physiological traits that all primates share Homework 3: list 5 behavioral traits that most primates share
Here is a link to a printable world map that you'll need after the first class meeting: https://www.waterproofpaper.com/printable-maps/world.shtml
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
There will be diagrams of animal bones and discussions of primate bonding patterns. Diagrams and discussions will be kept G-rated.
