	Primatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Primatology as a science has many different disciplines that stem from the differing cultural backgrounds of the founders of the field.
		The discipline of Western primatology is affected by the Judeo-Christian background of European and American science.
		Unlike Western Primatology, the Japanese discipline is a male dominated science.

	Primatology: A Pathfinder
		Primatology is the study of non-human primates, which includes all species of lemurs, monkeys and apes.
		The field of primatology has been fortunate to have several outstanding scientists, among them Jane Goodall and the late Dian Fossey, who have done considerable work documenting and interpreting the lives of chimpanzees and gorillas.
		Primatology as a science evolved to study the animals and their relationship to modern human beings; however, many primatologists must also work diligently with conservation efforts to preserve and maintain the native habitats and populations of the species they study.

	SRB Review 2(2)
		Japan developed a primatology independently of Euro-American influences, built around their own culture's notions of minimal animal-human boundaries, and of nature as a social object rather than simply being wild.
		Her first independent contribution to primatology was an influential 1974 critical paper on observational sampling methods.
		Haraway's deconstruction of primatology may work well because primatology's targets of study are animate and (grudgingly) "proto"-cultural, and because she focused carefully on discourses that do concern human affairs.

	Primatology
		Primatology at Miami University began in 1989, when Linda Marchant became assistant professor of biological anthropology.
		At the undergraduate level, students of primatology typically major in anthropology or zoology or both, or minor in these subjects, formally or otherwise.
		Miami primatology is committed to ethical treatment of our nearest living relations, and so we are active in both welfare and conservation.

	Primate Info Net: What is Primatology?
		The biological science studying humans together with their mammalian relatives, the other primates, is called primatology.
		"Primatology is the interdisciplinary study of primates which -- unlike traditional academic 'disciplines' -- is defined more by the object of study -- primates -- rather than the specific subject matter which it addresses.
		In this sense, traditional subject oriented 'disciplines' are defined by common goals, research questions, terminology and methodology while object oriented 'fields' of study are united only by a common target of investigation.

	MRes Primatology
		The course is designed to teach you how to carry out original research, and to put your findings into a theoretical context.
		Candidates should normally hold a minimum of a lower second-class Honours degree in biological sciences or an equivalent area with sufficient biological anthropology.
		Applicants without the above first degree qualification will require evidence of practice in primatology and/or may be required to submit a portfolio which demonstrates their academic potential and knowledge of fundamental biological principles.

		Additionally, students are advised to take courses in the departments of psychology and zoology and the School of Natural Resources, all of which have faculty interested in primatology.
		A group of core interdisciplinary courses is also offered for Primatology students, in addition to courses that pertain to their specialty (e.g., cognition, ecology, behavior).
		FACULTY AND THEIR SPECIALTIES: Pamela J. Asquith (Japanese primatology, cultural effects on science); Usher Fleising (socio- biology, methodology, ecology); Mary McDonald Pavelka (behavior, social dynamics, Japanese macaques); James D. Paterson (behavioral ecology, thermobiology, allometry and bioenergetics, postural studies, evolutionary and taxonomic theory, computers, methodology and data acquisition).

		Abstract: The author explores the popular construction of primatology through an examination of the films Gorillas in the Mist (1988) and Instinct (1999).
		These cinematic constructions are discussed in terms of the larger context of gender, science, and primatology.
		Despite tremendous gains in numbers and professional recognition of female scientists over the past several decades, many details of the lives of real female scientists and, importantly, their representations in popular media have lagged behind.

		The International Journal of Primatology has a listing of various issues (abstracts to articles are freely accessible online).
		Robin deserves special regard for his persistent and ongoing attempts to define theory in primatology as theory is defined in the natural sciences.
		Indeed, this posture is likely to impact not only primatology but also animal behaviorists in other social sciences when combined with the efforts of mathematically inclined scholars in those fields (e.g., psychology, anthropology, and, perhaps, sociology).

	Foreign Affairs - A Natural History of Peace - Robert M. Sapolsky
		Contrary to what was believed just a few decades ago, humans are not "killer apes" destined for violent conflict, but can make their own history.
		The fanciest part of the primate brain, in other words, seems to have been sculpted by evolution to enable us to gossip and groom, cooperate and cheat, and obsess about who is mating with whom.
		Humans, in short, are yet another primate with an intense and rich social life -- a fact that raises the question of whether primatology can teach us something about a rather important part of human sociality, war and peace.

	Molecular Primatology: Progress and Promise
		is to bring together a diverse, international group of leading experts on the application of molecular data in primatology to explore the breadth of current, cutting-edge research in the field, to provide a prospective view on the field's future promise, and to forge new collaborative connections among research groups from around the globe.
		Each of the first two days of the conference will close with an evening plenary talk exploring the history and future promise of using molecular data in primate phylogenetic studies, a topic that is not covered explictly in any of the thematic sessions.
		On the morning of the third day of the conference, we will break into smaller thematic working groups (i.e., speakers plus selected conference attendees) to discuss issues raised during the more formal presentations and to jointly identify target areas for future research and potential collaboration.

	Amazon.com: The Cultured Chimpanzee: Reflections on Cultural Primatology: Books: W. C. McGrew (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This book provides a wide range of references related to cultural primatology, and although this book is about chimpanzee cultures, McGrew also reviews the behavioural diversities and social learning of fish, birds, mammals, cetaceans, capuchin monkeys, macaques, and other great apes in Chapters 4 and 5.
		This stimulating book shows that the field of cultural primatology may therefore help us to reconstruct the cultural evolution of Homo sapiens from earlier forms, and that it is essential for anthropologists, archaeologists and zoologists to work together to develop a stronger understanding of human and primate cultural evolution.
		My first inkling of cultural primatology came in January, 1975, when Caroline Tutin and I went to the Mahale Mountains of western Tanzania.
