Primatology is the study of primates, specifically including prosimii
and anthropoidea (New world and Old world monkeys, greater and lesser apes, and
the study of humans as primates.) Primatology is a specific field of
anthropology which covers all four sub-fields depending on the emphasis of
study. Field work done in primatology is done by paleoanthropologists (Donald
Johanson), primatologists (Jane Goodall), and primate paleontologists.
