The closest living relative to humans are primates. The study of primates and their behaviors is primatology. Primatology provides a better understanding of the many aspects of the research‚ preservation and conservation of primates. The field of primatology has been fortunate to have several outstanding scientists‚ among them Jane Goodall‚ the late Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas. Each of them has accomplished considerable works documenting and interpreting the lives of chimpanzees‚ gorillas
