features including relatively large brains, grasping hands, and complex social lives. Here at the DLC we have two large populations of primates: the lemurs that live at the Lemur Center full time, and the humans who study and protect the lemurs. But how are these primates related to each other? What does everything we are learning about lemur diets, diseases, physiology, and social behavior tell us about being a primate or being a human?</p> <p>In order to explore the biological connections between lemurs and humans, we need to turn to the fossil record to help us understand the evolutionary journey of our primate relatives. Duke researchers and their national and international collaborators target branches along the primate family tree, going out into the field to find evidence of fossil primates and the ancient ecosystems they called home.</p> </div> <div post_id="14848" itemcount="1" header_id="header-1555340765062" id="header-1555340765062" style="" class="accordions-head head1555340765062 border-none" toggle-text="" main-text="How to find us"> <span id="accordion-icons-1555340765062" class="accordion-icons"> <span class="accordion-icon-active accordion-plus"><i class="fa fas fa-chevron-up"></i></span> <span class="accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus"><i class="fa fas fa-chevron-down"></i></span> </span> <span id="header-text-1555340765062" class="accordions-head-title">How to find us</span> </div> <div class="accordion-content content1555340765062 "> <p><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="719" class=" wp-image-14894 alignnone" src="https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/megaladapis-1024x719.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/megaladapis.jpg 1024w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/megaladapis-300x211.jpg 300w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/megaladapis-768x539.jpg 768w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/megaladapis-624x438.jpg 624w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>The DLCMNH is off campus, both for the Duke Lemur Center and Duke University. Our current address is:</p> <p>1013 Broad Street<br /> Durham, NC 27705</p> <p>We are located just north of Duke's East Campus, directly across the street from the Willow Oak Veterinary Hospital. If you are visiting us with a car, pull into the driveway on the north side of the building and park in the small lot behind the DLCMNH. Parking does not require a parking pass. If the lot is full, there is plenty of street parking on Broad Street. Just ring the doorbell by our front door or knock on our side door.</p> </div> <div post_id="14848" itemcount="2" header_id="header-1555340854774" id="header-1555340854774" style="" class="accordions-head head1555340854774 border-none" toggle-text="" main-text="How to visit us"> <span id="accordion-icons-1555340854774" class="accordion-icons"> <span class="accordion-icon-active accordion-plus"><i class="fa fas fa-chevron-up"></i></span> <span class="accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus"><i class="fa fas fa-chevron-down"></i></span> </span> <span id="header-text-1555340854774" class="accordions-head-title">How to visit us</span> </div> <div class="accordion-content content1555340854774 "> <p><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="828" class=" wp-image-6459" src="https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sloth-lemur-subfossil-1024x828.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sloth-lemur-subfossil-1024x828.jpg 1024w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sloth-lemur-subfossil-300x243.jpg 300w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sloth-lemur-subfossil-768x621.jpg 768w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sloth-lemur-subfossil-624x505.jpg 624w, https://lemur.duke.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/sloth-lemur-subfossil.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>We are now offering small, guided tours of the DLC Museum of Natural History!

With the goal of increasing awareness of the collection for a variety of potential new users—students, educators, scientists, and curious lifelong learners—we will be changing the name "Division of Fossil Primates" to the DLC Museum of Natural History.</p> <p>In preparation for this, our fossil team has been working with the DLC Education and Outreach team to design an exhibit that tells the epic story of primates, from their origin after the extinction of the dinosaurs to today, when most primate species are on the verge of extinction. The exhibit will also be a tool for virtual classroom tours and programming. We're excited to share the collection with a wider audience through this new DLC exhibit.</p> <p>The year 2020 also brought new discoveries to the fossil collection, while researchers and the public continued to explore our online specimen collection at<span style="color: #a1b70c;"> <strong><a style="color: #a1b70c;" href="https://www.morphosource.org/teams/00000C114?locale=en" target="_blank"

and educators.</p> <p>The DLC fossil collection also received two federal grants totaling $800,000+ to support our efforts to preserve and share the collection.</p> <p>To read more, please visit our
