Sympathy VI. Historical and critical discussion of ideational behavior in monkeys and apes: 1. Evidences of ideation in monkeys 2. Evidences of ideation in apes VII. Provision for the study of the primates and especially the monkeys and anthropoid apes VIII. Bibliography I INTERESTS, OPPORTUNITY AND MATERIALS Two strong interests come to expression in this report: the one in the study of the adaptive or ideational behavior of the monkeys and the apes; and the other in adequate and permanent provision for the thorough study of all aspects of the lives of these animals. The values of these interests and of the tasks which they have led me to undertake are so widely recognized by biologists that I need not pause to justify or define them. I shall, instead, attempt to make a contribution of fact on the score of each interest. |
