👉 Primatology is a scientific discipline that focuses on understanding the evolutionary history of species, particularly in the context of their emergence from a common ancestor. Primates are animals that share a common ancestor with humans and have evolved distinct characteristics and behaviors unique to them. The study of primatology involves studying the evolution and distribution of primate species across different geographical areas, as well as analyzing the genetic diversity among these species. It also examines the role of genetics in shaping primate behavior and adaptation to their respective environments
