Biographical note
Project Summary:In 2011 a suite of activities designed to encourage visitors to think about human biology and medical science from a new angle will take place at ‘Living Links’, a primate research centre built in the heart of Edinburgh Zoo. Through this project an estimated 400 000 visitors will be able to directly witness and engage with ongoing research and related activities through three strands of activity. ‘Living Links to Our Past’ will address what our fellow primates share with us in terms of basic biology and psychology. The second, ‘Evolutionary Medicine’, will explore the light an evolutionary perspective throws on illness and medicine, with illustrations from both human and non-human primates. The third will focus on the evolutionary roots of HIV and AIDS in monkeys and apes
