Cognitive performance of grey mouse lemurs ( Microcebus murinus ) during a discrimination learning task: Effect of the emotional valence of stimuli
Emotions are omnipresent in many animals' lives. It is a complex concept that encompasses physiological, subjective, behavioural and cognitive aspects. While the complex relationship between emotion and cognition has been well studied in humans and in some nonhuman primates, it remains rather unexplored for other nonhuman primate species, such as lemurs. In our study, we evaluated the performance of N = 48 grey mouse lemurs ( Microcebus murinus )…
Influence of food physical properties and environmental context on manipulative behaviors highlighted by new methodological approaches in zoo‐housed bonobos ( Pan paniscus )
Research on manipulative abilities in nonhuman primates, in the context of hominid evolution, has mostly focused on manual/pedal postures considered as static behaviors. While these behavioral repertoires highlighted the range of manipulative abilities in many species, manipulation is a dynamic process that mostly involves successive types of grips before reaching its goal. The present study aims to investigate the use of manual/pedal postures in…
Manipulative repertoire of bonobos ( Pan paniscus ) in spontaneous feeding situation
Comparative behavioral studies of hand use amongst primate species, including humans, have been central in research on evolutionary mechanisms. In particular, the manipulative abilities of our closest relatives, the chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ), have been widely described in various contexts, showing a high level of dexterity both in zoo and in natural conditions. In contrast, the study of bonobos' manipulative abilities has almost exclusively …
PaleoBRAIN: Ressusciter le cerveau d'Homo erectus et des Néandertaliens
La question de la correspondance entre les caractéristiques cérébrales et endocrâniennes est cruciale pour les applications en paléoneurologie et n’a jamais été abordée. Pour ce faire, le projet PaleoBRAIN, financé par l’ANR (ANR-20-CE27-0009), va étudier pour la première fois la corrélation entre la forme du cerveau et celle de l’endocrâne au sein d’un échantillon d’humains actuels en utilisant des acquisitions par imagerie à résonance magnétiqu…
Increased performance in juvenile baboons is consistent with ontogenetic changes in morphology
OBJECTIVES: In many primates, the greater proportion of climbing and suspensory behaviors in the juvenile repertoire likely necessitates good grasping capacities. Here, we tested whether very young individuals show near-maximal levels of grasping strength, and whether such an early onset of grasping performance could be explained by ontogenetic variability in the morphology of the limbs in baboons. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We quantified a performanc…
Quand les mères portent leur enfant à gauche: Qu'apprenons-Nous De Nos Cousins Les Babouins
Chez l’humain, la majorité des mères (66 à 72 %) portent leur enfant du bras gauche. Ni la préférence manuelle, ni la culture, ni la position des battements du cœur ne semblent expliquer cette préférence. L’hypothèse faisant actuellement consensus implique la division du travail entre les deux hémisphères cérébraux, notamment la spécialisation de l’hémi- sphère droit dans le traitement des émotions. Porté à gauche, le bébé expose son visage dans …
Right or left? Determining the hand holding the tool from use traces
Ontogeny of locomotion in mouse lemurs: Implications for primate evolution
Handedness in gestural and manipulative actions in male hunter‐gatherer Aka pygmies from Central African Republic
Objectives All human populations display a right‐biased handedness. Nonetheless, if studies on western populations are plenty, investigations of traditional populations living at subsistence levels are rare. Yet, understanding the geographical variation of phenotypes of handedness is crucial for testing evolutionary hypotheses. We aimed to provide a preliminary investigation of factors affecting handedness in 25 Aka pygmies from Central African R…
The impact of hand proportions on tool grip abilities in humans, great apes and fossil hominins: A biomechanical analysis using musculoskeletal simulation
How Aging Affects Grasping Behavior and Pull Strength in Captive Gray Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus murinus)
Manual function and performance in humans, gorillas, and orangutans during the same tool use task
OBJECTIVES: Humans are known to possess more complex manual abilities than other primates. However, the manual abilities of primates have not been fully explored, and we still do not know if the manipulative abilities we attribute to humans are unique. The aim of this study was to compare the manual function and performance developed by humans, gorillas and orangutans while performing the same experimental tool use task. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Th…

Behavioral and functional strategies during tool use tasks in bonobos
Different primate species have developed extensive capacities for grasping and manipulating objects. However, the manual abilities of primates remain poorly known from a dynamic point of view. The aim of the present study was to quantify the functional and behavioral strategies used by captive bonobos ( Pan paniscus ) during tool use tasks. The study was conducted on eight captive bonobos which we observed during two tool use tasks: food extracti…
Substrate Diameter and Orientation in the Context of Food Type in the Gray Mouse Lemur, Microcebus murinus: Implications for the Origins of Grasping in Primates
Do bimanual coordination, tool use, and body posture contribute equally to hand preferences in bonobos
Grasping in primates: For Feeding, Moving and Human Specificities
For a long time, humans (genus Homo) were thought to be the only mammalian species capable of dextrous manual grasping. However, grasping is widespread among tetrapods, and among primates, it is associated with a wide range of morphological, dietary and locomotor variation. From an evolutionary perspective, this prompts several questions: is the origin and evolution of grasping in primates derived from requirements associated primarily with feedi…

Unconstrained 3D-kinematics of prehension in five primates: Lemur, capuchin, gorilla, chimpanzee, human
Substrate optimization in nut cracking by capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)
We conducted an experiment to examine the effect of substrate on the nut-cracking behavior of a group of semicaptive capuchin monkeys. We wanted to determine whether tufted capuchin monkeys were selective in choosing the substrate on which they pound nuts, and whether the choice of substrate affected the outcome. Eight adult females and eight juveniles were provided with nuts in the outdoor facility. We found that 1) all adult females and three y…
