Abstract
Every living animal dies. Yet we know little about how animals respond to the deaths of others, even in our closest living relatives, the primates. In this seminar, I will discuss recent research and case reports that provide insight into the breadth and ubiquity of primates’ responses to death, their motivations for interacting with the dead, and evidence for whether they grieve when bereaved.
Series This talk is part of the Biological Anthropology Seminar Series series.
