Need help on research paper?

Biological Anthropology: I have to write a research paper on Primate's Culture, need help, please see detail?

  • I have to write a research paper on primate's culture. Would you please help me with the topics that are relate to primates and culture both that I can research for and write about? I do know about the tool use and social behavior, but what else is there that I can talk about primate's culture? My paper should be about six pages and I just have 2.5 pages... still need a few topics and paragraph to cover the rest of my paper. Please help, I would really appreciate your it. Thank you.

  • Answer:

    Do not forget communication. This is a big part of culture for all primates (and humans). It also allows for the transmission of helpful behaviors such as nut cracking, insect gathering and food washing. Group/group interactions and territorial defending actions are also cultural, not biological. You might consider a compare and contrast section between several species. pointing out things that are the same and those which differ. For example the hot spring use among the Japanese macaques which is a learned behavior and unique to this species of primates.

Those two topics are basically all that you would need to write only 2.5 pages. Both social behavior and tool use can be broken down even further. For example, there are countless groups of chimps in Africa that practice different ways of obtaining food, I recommend doing research about the spear wielding chimps in Senegal and others in western Africa have developed a method involving sticks to hunt for ants and other insects. Social behaviors can also be broken down into mating and grooming, write a paragraph about how the subordinate male typically grooms the alpha to increase his popularity which would result in an increase in fitness. Good luck!
