The painting covers a time span of some 10 million years, illustrating these early primates within environments merging from one to the next as a continually unfolding landscape.

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced this morning that their small-molecule, nucleoside analogue, BCX4430, would be entering a dose ranging efficacy study in non-human primates within the next few weeks.
Colugos, also incorrectly referred to as "flying lemurs", were once considered lemur-like primates, but were reclassified as close relatives of bats, and more recently as close relatives of primates within their own order, Dermoptera.
This is well-known in humans [25], but there is accumulating evidence of functional asymmetries and associated anatomical lateralization of the left and right brain hemispheres also among non-primates within the vertebrate lineages (amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles) [26] [28].
Ethnoprimatologists should take care to place primates within a broader context before embarking on studies focused particularly on primates.
Investigating the place of primates within the broader ethnobiology of a culture is important, particularly for researchers investigating ethnoprimatology sensu stricto.
Participants were asked to list the names of all the animals they knew, as a means of placing primates within the broad context of ethnobiological knowledge.
Footprints of selection were recently reported in primates within another member of the same tripartite motif (TRIM) family of proteins which has antiretroviral properties [ 29, 30].
This study focuses on three small communities in Ecuadorian Amazon, and aims to place primates within the contemporary ethnobiology of the Waorani.
