Excerpt from Behavior Monographs
While recognizing that the task of prospecting for an anthro poid or primate station may in its outcome prove incomparably more important for the biological and sociological sciences and for human welfare than my experimental study of ideational behavior, I give the latter first place in this report, reserving for the concluding section an account of the situation regarding our knowledge of the monkeys, apes, and other primates, and a description of a plan and program for the thorough-going and long continued study of these organisms in a permanent station or research institute. In 1915, a long desired opportunity came to me to devote myself undividedly to tasks which I have designated above as prospecting for an anthropoid station and experimenting with monkeys and apes. First of all, the interruption of my academic duties by sabbatical leave gave me free time. But in addition to this freedom for research, I needed animals and equip ment. These, too, happily, were most satisfactorily provided.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the largely uncharted territory of primate behavior, focusing on the mental life of apes and monkeys. The author, a leading expert in the field, presents a wealth of original research, drawing on systematic experiments conducted with multiple-choice apparatus. The book examines evidence of ideational behavior in these animals, exploring their capacity for solving problems, perceiving relations, and making choices based on past experiences. The author challenges traditional views of primate intelligence and provides new insights into their cognitive abilities. By comparing the behavior of primates to that of humans, the book sheds light on the evolution of intelligence and the nature of consciousness. Ultimately, it challenges us to rethink our assumptions about the mental lives of our closest animal relatives.
