Foreword by Phillip V. Tobias The introduction of rhesus macaques
to Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico in 1938, and the subsequent
development of the CPRC for biomedical research, continues its long
history of stimulating studies in physical anthropology. The CPRC
monkey colonies, and the precise demographic data on the derived
skeletal collection in the Center's Laboratory of Primate
Morphology and Genetics (LPMG), provide rare opportunities for
morphological, developmental, functional, genetic, and behavioral
studies across the life span of rhesus macaques as a species, and
as a primate model for humans. The book grows out of a symposium
Wang is organizing for the 78th annual meeting of the American
Association of Physical Anthropologists to be held in April 2009.
This symposium will highlight recent and ongoing research in, or
related to, physical anthropology, and reveal the numerous research
opportunities that still exist at this unusual rhesus facility.
Following an initial historical review of CPRC and its research
activities, this book will emphasize recent and current researches
on growth, function, genetics, pathology, aging, and behavior, and
the impact of these researches on our understanding of rhesus and
human morphology, development, genetics, and behavior. Fourteen
researchers will present recent and current studies on morphology,
genetics, and behavior, with relevance to primate and human growth,
health, and evolution. The book will include not only papers
presented in the symposium, but also papers from individuals who
could not present their work at the meeting due to limitations in
the maximum number (14) of permitted speakers.
