Color and pattern of hair and skin plays a powerful role in how primates interpret and interact with others and the world. Primates are the most colorful and pelage diverse of all mammals. Thomas Wilson studies how color is more than skin-deep sharing with Talking Apes listeners how monkeys and apes use pelage color and pattern in communication, camouflage, and sexual selection.

Thomas Wilson, in our podcast's second part, shares the challenges of his journey in pursuit of a PhD in primatology and biological anthropology.
