Inside a monkey with rhea feathers
Osiris and Thoth in the Valley of Caracas
Two Egyptian antiquities were examined in the Repository of Archaeology of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Caracas. Through Antonio Guzmán Blanco, former president of Venezuela, Venezuelan ethnologist Gaspar Marcano sent one of them from Paris in early 1889. When it arrived in Caracas, German-Venezuelan naturalist Adolfo Ernst, the newly appointed director of the National Museum, acquired it for this collection. This piece is a bronze statuette…
An Aztec omichicahuaztli from Tenochtitlan made out of a spider monkey bone
Simia langobardorum
Depictions of and references to apes (tailless hominoids) are very limited in early historical written accounts. The first known published representations of ape‐like primates appear in Medieval European books during the first century following the invention of printing. Considering the current knowledge of ape iconography, this article examines an unusual image of a couple of ape‐like creatures rendered in a European manuscript and explores the …

The ontogeny of the postcranial skeleton in saddle-back tamarins, Leontocebus fuscicollis and callimicos, Callimico goeldii (Callitrichidae, Primates)
Ontogenetic studies of callitrichid anatomy are limited to research focused mainly on postcranial skeleton of adults. The goal of this study is to compare the ontogeny of postcranial skeletal development in Goeldi’s monkeys (i.e., callimico; Callimico goeldii) with the corresponding data on saddle-back tamarins (Leontocebus fuscicollis). The intermembral, humerofemoral, brachial, crural, and ulna-radius indices of callimicos and saddle-back tamar…
A Primate on a Fresco from the Mycenaean Acropolis of Tiryns
The earliest Bronze Age Mediterranean primate representations on frescoes are found at the Aegean sites of Knossos (Crete) and Akrotiri (Thera). By contrast, monkeys have so far been missing from Mycenaean frescoes in mainland Greece. A fresco fragment of a cultic scene from Tiryns changes this; it depicts a bipedal partial lower body, with a hanging tail. This image, previously interpreted as a human wearing an animal hide, had already been sugg…

Galilei’s mutter, archeoprimatology, and the ́blue ́ monkeys of Thera
Mitigating losses
Scientific collaborations among nations to address common problems and to build international partnerships as part of science diplomacy is a well-established notion. The international flow of people and ideas has played an important role in the advancement of the 'Sciences' and the current pandemic scenario has drawn attention towards the genuine need for a stronger role of science diplomacy, science advice and science communication. In dealing w…
Pre-Hispanic howler monkeys from two sites of northern Venezuela and the Orinocan connection
Skeletal fragments of ursine howler monkeys (Alouatta,A. cf.arctoidea) recovered from two archaeological sites in northern Venezuela are discussed in this article. Osteological remains, material culture evidence, and historical records are put together using an archaeoprimatological approach in order to investigate the relationships between the pre-Hispanic human societies in this region of South America and this primate taxon. The remains of how…
Archaeoprimatology
Archaeoprimatology explores how humans and nonhuman primates coexisted in the past. This discipline has profound roots in texts of early scholars. Archaeoprimatological research examines the liminality between humans, apes, monkeys, and prosimians deep in time before the rise of the Anthropocene. By exploring the beginning of the relationship between modern Homo sapiens and primates, which possibly dates to approximately 100,000 BCE, I survey the…
