	Primatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Long term sites of research tend to be best associated with their founders, and this leads to some tension between younger primatologists and the veterans in the field.
		Though Kawai is the only Japanese primatologist associated with the use of this term, the underlying principle is part of the foundation of Japanese primate research.
		Japanese primatologists are renowned for their ability to recognise animals by sight, and indeed most primates in a research group are usually named and numbered.

	Chimpanzee Hunting Behavior and Human Evolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In the early 1960s, when the British primatologist Jane Goodall first observed wild chimpanzees hunting and eating meat in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, it was widely believed that these animals were strict vegetarians.
		The Dutch primatologist Adrian Kortlandt suggested that hunting was a form of social display, in which male chimpanzees revealed their prowess to other members of the community.
		The Japanese primatologist Toshisada Nishida and his colleagues in the Mahale Mountains showed that the alpha male Ntilogi distributes meat to his allies but consistently withholds it from his rivals.

	Frans de Waal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		1948, Utrecht, the Netherlands) is a psychologist, primatologist and ethologist.
		His research into the innate capacity for empathy among primates has led de Waal to the conclusion that non-human great apes and humans are simply different types of apes, and that there is little difference between these species, except that humans walk on two legs.
		People such as primatologists and zookeepers who work on a daily basis with apes, always have a high opinion of apes' intelligence and abilities.

		The plain truth is this: the only thing that will make them stop behaving like curious, rambunctious chimpanzees and, instead, routinely perform mundane tasks over and over again on cue is abject fear of physical pain.
		"Primatologist" does not equate with "chimpanzee behaviour expert", it is just a generic title for anyone who researches things primate, from fossils and taxonomy to language and counting.
		If this person was aware of the literature, (s)he would know chimps love MandMs, and jellybeans, and grapes, and other treats, and these do not lose their appeal anymore than they do for human children (or adults) as rewards in researching such higher order behaviours; heck, even a nice piece of fruit will do.

	New species of 'hobbit' human was hype, says primatologist \| Science \| Guardian Unlimited
		Reports of the discovery in Indonesia of a new species of human, a metre tall "hobbit", were unfounded and hyped, experts said yesterday.
		They argue that the classification of 18,000-year-old remains on the remote island of Flores in 2003 as a different species of human, Homo floresiensis, is wrong.
		In a study published today in Science, Robert Martin, a primatologist at the Field Museum of Chicago, presents evidence claiming that the bones must have belonged to a modern human who had microencephaly, a pathological condition that causes small brain size and is often associated with short stature.

		A recent survey of the membership of the American Society of Primatologists found anthropology, psychology, biology/zoology and veterinary science as the most common disciplines of origin.

		The apes, which stand up to 1.8 metres tall and have feet nearly 36 centimetres long, were first documented last year by primatologist Shelly Williams in a forest in the northern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
