The latest installment of Peculiar Primates is now available on the Department of Anthropology's Terhune Lab webpage.

This blog series features a different primate each month and shares fun and strange details about primates around the world.

The author, Ashly Romero, a doctoral student biological anthropology in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, is using the blog to make biological anthropology more accessible to a wider audience and show people lesser known, but still cool and interesting, primates that live across the globe. 

This month's focus is the pygmy marmoset, which is the smallest monkey in the world. You can access the blog post here. If you have comments or questions, please email them to anromero@uark.edu.
