ANTH 21100 Introduction to Primates
All the world's primates
The All the World’s Primates website, edited by Noel Rowe and Marc Myers, is the comprehensive and authoritative resource for information about all the species and subspecies of living lorises, galagos, lemurs, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes. Although you can find information on the website by going there directly, if you go through the Ithaca College Website, you will be officially logged in and have access to all the website's features.
The project began as an online pictural guide to primates, but quickly added a taxonomic database with all the primate species and subspecies, with the idea that an online database could be updated both immediately and authoritatively as new information was learned. On the site now are scientific data compiled for and by experts in the field, range maps, and over 3,000 photographs, videos and audio files.
