The primary objective of this research is to understand the                     reasons for sexual dimorphism of canine teeth in the catarrhine                 primates.  The goal will be approached by collecting tooth size                 measurements for a large body of primates.  Large samples of                    males and females for each species will be obtained to allow a                  thorough documentation of variation of sexual dimorphism,                       allowing comparisons of sexual dimorphism at all taxonomic levels               within the anthropoid primates.  The effects of body size, body                 size dimorphism and phylogeny on the expression of sexual                       dimorphism will be carefully studied.                                                                                                                           Scientists disagree as to the cause of canine reduction and the                 associated reduction sexual dimorphism in the canine teeth of the               human lineage.  This research will test several hypotheses, such                as whether patterns of sexual dimorphism result from unequal                    division of labor between male and female primate, or whether                   small object feeding has caused canine reduction in association                 with incisal reduction to allow more efficient jaw movements.
