Primatology

Primatology is the scientific study of primates, which are mammals such as lemurs, monkeys, apes, and humans. Primatology seeks to understand the evolutionary history, behavior, and communication among species of primates. It also focuses on the conservation and management of primate species, looking at the impact of human activities on the animals. Primatology has many applications in a wide range of fields such as medicine, psychology, anthropology, conservation, and ecology. By studying primates, scientists can gain insight into the evolution of the human species, and discover medical treatments for diseases or treatments that have evolved in primates over time. This information can help to shape future conservation efforts and preserve the much-needed biodiversity of the planet.
