CE ÎNSEAMNĂ PRIMATE ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
arhiepiscop
Un primat este un mamifer al primatelor. În taxonomie, primatele includ prosimieni și simieni. Primate au apărut de la strămoșii care locuiau în copacii din pădurile tropicale; multe caracteristici de primate reprezintă adaptări la viața în acest mediu tridimensional provocator. Majoritatea speciilor de primate rămân cel puțin parțial arborice. Cu excepția oamenilor, care locuiesc pe fiecare continent, majoritatea primatelor trăiesc în regiuni tropicale sau subtropicale din America, Africa și Asia. Ele variază în dimensiune de la lemurul de șoareci al Madame Berthe, care cântărește numai 30 g, la gorila din estul țării, cântărind peste 200 kg. Pe baza dovezilor fosile, primele primite cunoscute, reprezentate de genul Teilhardina, datează la 55,8 milioane de ani. O relativă primată apropiată, cunoscută din rămășițele abundente, este Paleocenul târziu Plesiadapis, circa 55-58 milioane de ani vechi. Studiile cu privire la ceasurile moleculare sugerează că ramura primatelor poate fi chiar mai veche, provenind din perioada cretacilor de mijloc, în jurul valorii de 85 de mia. Ordinea primatelor a fost în mod tradițional împărțită în două grupări principale: prosimieni și antropoizi.

First of all it's usually women who run these higher primate sanctuaries, rarely men. They are white. They come from privileged backgrounds. They are educated.
Unlike the primate hand, the elephant's grasping organ is also its nose. Elephants use their trunks not only to reach food but also to sniff and touch it. With their unparalleled sense of smell, the animals know exactly what they are going for. Vision is secondary.
I have often noticed how primate groups in their entirety enter a similar mood. All of a sudden, all of them are playful, hopping around. Or all of them are grumpy. Or all of them are sleepy and settle down. In such cases, the mood contagion serves the function of synchronizing activities.
Bonobo studies started in the '70s and came to fruition in the '80s. Then in the '90s, all of a sudden, boom, they ended because of the warfare in the Congo. It was really bad for the bonobo and ironic that people with their warfare were preventing us from studying the hippies of the primate world.
People who study primate societies make a distinction between two kinds of cultural interactions, agonic and hedonic. In agonic societies, you gain status by asserting dominance over others. In hedonic societies, you gain status by drawing attention to yourself. Open source is a hedonic culture.
