Primatology

Introduction

Primatology is the scientific study of primates. This is a diverse discipline which his followers can be found in the departments of biology, anthropology, psychology, ecology, among others.

Modern primatology is an extremely diverse science. His range of study ranging from the anatomy of the ancestors of primates to field studies on the behavior and ecology of the species present. Primatology also performed experiments on the physiology of primates and the language of the apes. These shed light on the behavior of the ancestors of mankind.

The physical anthropology is a branch of primatology, which specializes in the study of the family Hominid, particularly in the genus Homo, and within this in the species Homo sapiens. The primates (Primates) Primates are one or to the superiority of the Euarchontoglires corresponding order within the subclass of higher mammals. Their research is the subject of Primatology. The term "monkey" is sometimes used for this order, but it is misleading, because monkeys represent only a subset. Primates are used in the two suborders of the wet-nosed monkeys (Strepsirrhini) and dry nose monkeys divided (Haplorhini), the latter being the great apes (Hominidae), including the people include (Homo sapiens) with (Wolfe, pp. 1956-58).

Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall, whose full name Dame Valerie Jane Goodall (April 3 1934 in London) is a behavioral scientist , which began in 1960, the behavior of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania to investigate. In order to preserve the habitats of primates and thus for the protection of their ways to advertise, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute , the treatment and understanding of primates through public education and legal representation seeks to improve on, wants to strengthen cooperation with local communities and young people for these tasks.

Goodall is next to Dian Fossey (gorillas) and Birute Galdikas (orangutans), one of three women who, at the suggestion of the paleontologist Louis Leakey the early 1960s, long-term studies of primates began. Leakey hoped by these behavioral observations to draw conclusions about the behavior of pre-human to be able to draw.

Life and Achievements

After leaving school, Goodall first attended a school for secretaries, but realized in 1957 at the invitation of a former schoolmate their long-cherished dream, learn about Africa, and traveled ...
