Director Anne Yoder and Assistant Director Dean Gibson of the Duke University Lemur Center discuss the baby aye-aye, Ichabod, and the complex breeding behavior of aye-ayes. Aye-ayes are extremely rare in Madagascar because of habitat destruction and the animals are sometimes killed on sight because of local superstitution.

Anne Yoder, the director of the Duke University Lemur Center, explains how some claims of new species of lemurs might be "irresponsible." A new species can be identified using morphology, behavior, ecology and statistics. The genetic distribution of genes in the population can be used to find out when the population stopped sharing genes.

In 2007, a team of researchers from Duke University and the German Primate Centre compared genetic markers from several members of the primate family to draw a family tree that shows how lemurs and humans are related, and how the lemurs diverged after being split from the rest of the family 60 million years ago.
