Overview

Non-human primates are a diverse group of mammals related to humans that are widely studied in the fields of evolutionary biology, ecology, animal behavior and biomedical research. They have widely varying anatomies, body sizes and social structures, and are distributed widely in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. They play an essential role in helping us understand evolutionary processes, the impacts of environmental change on species and ecosystems, and aiding medical advancements in health research. Non-human primates are also widely used in biomedical research as models for humans due to their close evolutionary relationship. This includes studies on infectious diseases, behavior, immunology, cardiovascular diseases and neuroscience.
