Primatologists are scientists who study non-human primates, our closest living relatives. Their work has provided us with invaluable insights into our own evolution, behavior, and social organization. However, until now, little attention has been paid to the cultural and societal influences that shape the work of primatologists.

In Cultural Reflections of Primatologists, Dr. Jane Goodall and Dr. Agustín Fuentes explore this important topic through in-depth interviews with leading primatologists from around the world. These interviews reveal how the primatologists' cultural backgrounds, personal experiences, and social contexts have shaped their research and understanding of non-human primates.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the cultural and societal factors that influence the choice of research topics in primatology. The second part examines how the primatologists' cultural backgrounds and personal experiences shape their interpretation of data. The third part discusses the implications of the primatologists' cultural biases for the field of primatology and for our understanding of non-human primates.

Cultural Reflections of Primatologists is a groundbreaking book that provides a unique perspective on the field of primatology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of primatology, as well as for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between culture and science.
