This week's BERG: Prof. Phyllis Lee discussing whether apes are special?

by Donna Kean

Dear BERGers, This week we will have Prof. Phyllis Lee presenting a talk entitled: “Are primates special????” The special “uniqueness” of primates as a taxonomic group will be compared with that of other mammals, some birds and a few fish. What can an ape do that a guppy can’t? [cid:image001.png@01D35C88.3809F280] Looking forward to seeing you all there, drinks and nibbles as usual! Best wishes, Donna
