霊長類行動学

  • species (種):
    • can interbreed
    • 生物分類で属(genus)の下位分類にあたる。同じ種であれば相互に交配可能である。
    • 書き方:Genus species
  • subspecies (亜種):
    • Organisms that belong to different subspecies of the same species are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, but they often do not interbreed in nature due to geographic isolation or other factors.(Wikipedia)
    • 生物の分類区分で、種の下位区分。交配可能ではあるが、地理的隔離などの制限により自然状況下では交配することはほとんどない種。
  • primate behaviors
    • some behaviors are genetically determined, but it is not always.
      • e.g., no gene to form single-male
    • innate behavior in humans:
      • baby cries, walking, sexual attraction, and etc.
    • Not innate behavior
      • writing, hand gesture, and etc.
    • usually genetically programmed to react to environment, and primates are especially flexible animals.
