'''Anne C. Zeller''' is a [[Biological anthropology|physical anthropologist]] who specializes in the study of primates. She received her M.A.(1971) and Ph.D (1978) from the [[University of Toronto]].

During her graduate studies she worked on chromosome analysis, comparing [[Common chimpanzee|chimpanzee]] and human [[chromosomes]]. Anne has undertaken primate [[field research]] in [[Morocco]], [[Gibraltar]], [[Texas]], [[Borneo]] and [[Africa]]. These two types of research combine interests in the physical development of humans from their primate ancestors, and the behavioral patterns of primates which are similar to those found among humans. However, her approach to physical anthropology is very wide-ranging and she has presented papers on [[witchcraft]], dietary influences on behaviour, the role of children in [[evolution]], and [[child abuse]] in primates, as well as on her major focus of [[primate communication]].

She is also interested in the use of film in research and teaching, has prepared video tapes for use in her classes and is analyzing film taken during her field research. Her current research concerns the interactions of adults and infants in the socializing process of ''Macaca fascicularis'', the [[crab-eating macaque]] of [[Indonesia]].

Anne began teaching full-time at the [[University of Waterloo]] in the Department of Anthropology in 1982, and spent several years as the Chair or Head of Anthropology after 1993. Anne also held a series of positions at the [[University of Alberta]], the [[University of Victoria]] and the University of Toronto. She retired from teaching in 2009.
