Hey all, doing a forensic and physical anthropology module in college which is excellent but i have an upcoming skeletal exam that im having a little trouble studying for. Half of it im ok for which is hominid but the other half is primates and thats whats causing the difficulty. Could anyone recommend a book or a site even thats good for info on pro-simians, old and new world monkeys etc from an evolutionary point of view?

Cheers all

Some of the primate material in that course is based on Diane France's Lab Manual and Workbook for Physicl Anthropology:

Also check Introduction to Physical Anthropology by Robert Jurmain:

This site is good from a general, though not an evolutionary point of view.

www.e-skeletons.org

Still though, might be of some help.

Good luck!

Actually I just noticed they do have some evolutionary stuff (E-Lucy at bottom of page). Yeah, it's a very handy resource!

The diane France book is usually stocked by Clarendon Medical on Clarendon Street just off Grafton Street. It is actually the recommended reading text for the course as posted on Blackboard.
