Various methods of age assessment in nonhuman primates of unknown gestation or chronological age are discussed. The most precise of all methods, the utilization of skeletal age (appendicular bone maturation), is described. The prenatal growth standards and age indicators of M. mulatta are discussed and compared to Pan tryglodytes and man. Also several post-natal growth standards comparable in M. mulatta, Pan tryglodytes and man are presented. The determination of unknown age of experimental animals which provide an accurate basis of comparison with human material is discussed.
讨论了对妊娠情况或实际年龄未知的非人灵长类动物进行年龄评估的各种方法。描述了所有方法中最精确的一种，即骨骼年龄（附肢骨成熟度）的运用。讨论了恒河猴的产前生长标准和年龄指标，并与黑猩猩和人类进行了比较。还给出了恒河猴、黑猩猩和人类中具有可比性的几种产后生长标准。讨论了确定实验动物未知年龄的方法，这些方法为与人类材料进行准确比较提供了基础。
