The emerging manifesto, center of the essay collection this commentary is part of, points out that primatology is a primate's science and field of endeavor. It is about primates, and constructed and carried out by primates. But the relationships between different primates involved in primatology cannot be described merely as scientific, zoological, or conservatory. A main point emerging from this perspective is that the relationships amongst primates (as scientists and as subjects) are affected by primatologists' experiences outside of academic science and within the cultural schema that we acquire as members of human societies. My contribution focuses on the primatologists and their sometimes discussed, but too often ignored, cultural and ethnic contexts as influences on how they study, think about, and interact with other primates. In our views and bonds with other primates, do national, class, and ethnic factors count?
新兴宣言指出，灵长类学是灵长类动物的科学和努力领域。它是关于灵长类动物的，由灵长类动物构建和进行。但是，参与灵长类学的不同灵长类动物之间的关系不能仅仅描述为科学、动物学或保护主义。从这个角度来看，一个主要观点是，灵长类动物（作为科学家和作为研究对象）之间的关系受到灵长类动物学家在学术科学之外的经验以及我们作为人类社会成员所获得的文化模式的影响。我的贡献集中在灵长类动物学家及其有时讨论但经常被忽视的文化和种族背景，这些背景会影响他们研究、思考和与其他灵长类动物互动的方式。在我们与其他灵长类动物的观点和联系中，民族、阶级和种族因素是否重要？
