Shifting primate

Precious and enduring lessons have come my way during my time spent with our close primate cousins. Whether Louis Leakey’s (the anthropologist Who supported the work of Goodall, Fossey and Galdikas) view that women make better primate watchers than men is discriminatory or true, his premise that women are less likely to incite aggression in male primates is particularly valid. An understanding of the vastly different ways in which non-human primates relate to men and women is necessary for developing a clear conception of primate behaviour.

An orphaned baboon named Gismo, whose mother had been shot, was brought to me in 1997. Before he was old enough to be rehabilitated back into the wild, I cared for him as surrogate mother. Even at that young age, he related to men and women differently, thus teaching my male partner and myself how to parent him in ways that placed us in different roles.
