PART 1 | THE DAWN OF PRIMATOLOGY

Gorillas, the apes I have studied for more than thirty
years in Africa, had been regarded as the most violent animals until recently.
This is mostly due to the chest-beating display by their mature males, which was regarded
as a preclude of their explosive attacks, when gorillas were encountered with Western
explorers in the 19th century. However, in the latter half of 20th
century, pioneering field works on mountain gorillas, by George Schaller and Dian Fossey,
found that chest-beating has multiple meaning, such as self-assertion,
excitement, curiosity, play invitation,
or courtship, rather than threat.
Gorillas are genetically close to humans. So misunderstandings of gorillas
lead us to misunderstandings of our common ancestors.

PART 2 | THE HISTORY OF JAPANESE PRIMATOLOGY

Imanishi devised a guide to field
studies of primatology using three methodologies as below. First,
adopting methods of comparative sociology. Second, basing work on
individual identification. And lastly, recording social interactions with
prolonged continuous observations.
