Summary Introduction
To list: The three reproductive strategies that might differ from the male and female primates of the same species.
Introduction: Primates, the group containing all species commonly related to lemurs, monkeys, and apes, are members of the biological order, and the latter category includes human beings. The wide variety of habitats of primates requires them to apply various strategies for food production. In order to acquire and process food for consumption, primates rely completely on their bodies. Material culture is used by humans for food acquisition and processing.
Summary Introduction
To describe: The outcomes of the different reproductive strategies of both male and female primates.
