0 the study of primates (= intelligent mammals including apes, monkeys, and humans):
Dian Fossey's life with the Virunga mountain gorillas personified primatology and identified it with conservation.
The ideal scholar in this field should combine a professional training in linguistics, paleoanthropology, evolutionary biology, neurology, psychology and primatology, at the very least.
But in physics the linkages seem more distant, and consequently they are endowed with less immediate social resonance than in primatology.
But does evidence from paleoanthropology, paleoanatomy, and primatology add any supporting evidence?
They report a bias toward only four of the 80 cetacean species, which mirrors the focus in primatology toward a handful of taxa.
The lack of behavioral research in all but a few cetacean species is also notable, as it mirrors a bias in primatology towards only a few genera.
The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, primatology, archaeology, linguistics, evolutionary psychology, embryology and genetics.
Originally, she had plans to become a cultural anthropologist but later decided to focus on primatology due to her interest in sociality.
Founded in 1963, the journal covers diverse areas of primatology, including molecular biology, social behaviour, ecology, conservation, palaeontology, systematics and functional anatomy.
