The study of the nonhuman primates can provide information from which we can attempt to reconstruct aspects of human evolution, especially the evolution of our behavior.
Behavior may be defined as all the actions and inactions of an organism.
Both quantitative and qualitative research methods enrich our study of behavior.
A behavior may be viewed from five different perspectives: phylogeny, ontogeny, proximate stimulus, the behavior itself, and the function of the behavior.
