For our exhibition on Evolution and Health I am looking for an adult female non human primate pelvis. It certainly could be a cast. I am not having very much luck.
Anyone have any ideas of a source?

Why? As we became bipedal our pelvises narrowed for walking and running stability and this had consequences for childbirth. Human primates, us, give birth with more difficulty than non human primates because of the narrower pelvis, the smaller pelvic opening and the largest size brain possible to fit coming out.
