Abstract: Two major studies which are explored in this paper concern the comparative morphology \nof a wide range of primates, how these differences affect behavior, and \nwhat inferences one can make regarding the adaptive reasons behind those differences. \nHiromi Kobayashi and Shiro Kohshima conducted a study in 1998 that \nmeasured the eyes of 88 species of primates using computer-aided image analysis \nto determine the differences between species and to examine how these differences \ncorrelate with biological and environmental variability (Kobayashi & Kohshima \n2001). Michael Tomasello and associates have carried out numerous studies using \napes, monkeys, and children that explore issues relating to cognition and communication; \nthis body of work is integrated into the “cooperative eye hypothesis,” \nwhich will be explored in the body of this paper (Tomasello et al. 2007:316).
