Most nonhuman primates prey on vertebrates. Meat-eating, defined as ingestion of
vertebrate tissue, occurs in 12 families,≥ 39 genera, and≥ 89 species. It is most common in …

The parallel evolution of increased sensorimotor intelligence in humans and capuchins has
been linked to the cognitive and manual demands of seasonal extractive faunivory. This …

The role of invertebrates in the evolution of human diet has been under-studied by
comparison with vertebrates and plants. This persists despite substantial knowledge of the …

Bottom-up regulatory factors have been proposed to exert a strong influence on mammalian

Objectives Acquiring tool‐assisted foraging skills can potentially improve dietary quality and
increase fitness for wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). In contrast to chimpanzees in East …

Simple Summary Adequate nutrition is a key factor in primate reproduction, longevity, and
welfare. Thus, understanding the nutritional makeup of food choices is essential in health …

Selection and transport of materials for tools is ubiquitous throughout our species'
evolutionary history. Yet our understanding of early human material culture is heavily …

ABSTRACT Objectives: Fallback foods (FBFs) are hypothesized to shape the ecology,
morphology, and behavior of primates, including hominins. Identifying FBFs is therefore …

The new field of primate archaeology investigates the technological behavior and material
record of nonhuman primates, providing valuable comparative data on our understanding of …
