Abstract

The article presents the discussion on studies of living and mummified baboons. Topics include x-ray imaging revealing the distinctive skeleton and longsnouted skull of a primate; invaders heading straight for the food table neatly adorned with cupcakes, sliced fruit, and juice boxes; and microbes living in primate intestines vital to the digestion of plant matter.
