Primatology is the study of primates. It is a diverse discipline and primatologists can be found in departments of biology, anthropology, psychology and many others. It is a branch of Physical anthropology, which, in itself, studies the genus Homo, especially Homo sapiens. The fields cross over in the study of the hominids, which include all ape-like ancestors of man and the other great apes (for a list of common ancestors with other living species see The Ancestor's Tale). Modern primatology is an extremely diverse science. It ranges from anatomical studies of primate ancestors and field studies of primates in their natural habitat, to experiments in animal psychology and ape language. It has cast an immense amount of light on basic human behaviors and ancient ancestry of these behaviors. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by D - Tue Dec 23 19:20:13 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Physical anthropology is the branch of anthropology that deals with the fossil record of human evolution. Archeology is basically the same as physical anthropology except you deal with the fossil records of other species. If you like science and mathematics, than you'll be satisfied with physical anthropology . Cultural anthropology deals more with culture variations among humans. If your interested in ethnic studies and history you'll like this branch of anthropology. General anthropology refers to all the branches of anthropology mentioned above. Summary: If you like history, go for cultural. If you like math and science, then go for physical or archeology. If you still can't make up you your mind or if you like history, math, and… [cont.] Answered by William Cube - Tue Dec 23 19:40:07 2008 Archaeology & Anthropology Specialising? Q. If I were to study Archaeology and Anthropology at University, which specific field is better to specialise in, for example Primatology (for Anth) , or Egyptology (for Arch). If I want to specialise in an Archaeological field, is it better to do Archaeology and Ancient History? Actually I think I'll rephrase the question, may make it easier to answer. Which field do most people who study Arch & Anth go into, Arch OR Anth?

Q. None of this is meant to be bashing, but a sincere question and a bit informative. Why is it that so many Christians(especially YEC's) think they have such a knowledge on evolution? The people who are famous in this community seem to share what they know about evolution all the time and people seeing them as reputable sources believe them and perpetuate the cycle. examples of this is "if man evolved from ape than why are there still chimpanzees here". If you are some one who says this, trying to be smart, and thinking this will scare some one who understands evolution, I can promise you they will laugh, answer you and tell you to get educated. Humans did not evolve from the apes of today, rather the apes of today and humans… [cont.] Asked by homestarr2 - Thu Mar 5 01:10:12 2009 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is because they are ignorant of what mainstream christianity believes and are trying to appear clever but in doing so, so badly prove the opposite!! Now the churches are speaking out against them!! The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept evolution and the big bang!! Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth !!
