Primatologists study the anatomy, physiology, behavior, and genetics of both living and extinct monkeys, apes, and prosimians. Primatologists study nonhuman primates and their anatomy, genetics, behavior, and ecology for a variety of reasons, including the desire to learn more about their intrinsically fascinating patterns of behavior. Within an anthropological framework, primatologists study the nonhuman primates for the lessons they can provide on how evolution has molded the human species.
