Human-Animal Interactions and Infectious Disease
Zoonoses are significant in human histories, and in histories of other species and the environment. Diseases have been an important evolutionary force, not just the major epidemics but the quieter endemic diseases. These infectious diseases comprise complex events and cycles involving multiple actors (humans, animals, and microorganisms). Despite difficulties of preservation, identification, and interpretation, bioarchaeologists have often analyz…

Extending Ethnoprimatology
The majority of studies in ethnoprimatology focus on areas of sympatry where humans and nonhuman primates (hereafter, primates) naturally coexist. We argue that much can be gained by extending the field's scope to incorporate settings where humans manage most aspects of primates' lives, such as zoos, laboratories, sanctuaries, and rehabilitation centers (hereafter, managed settings). We suggest that the mixed-methods approach of ethnoprimatology,…
Incorporating the Ethnographic Perspective
Ethnoprimatology, the combining of primatological and anthropological practice and the viewing of humans and other primates as living in integrated and shared ecological and social spaces, has become an increasingly popular approach to primate studies in the twenty-first century. Offering an insight into the investigation and documentation of human-nonhuman primate relations in the Anthropocene, this book guides the reader through the preparation…
Caregiver/Orangutan Relationships at Auckland Zoo
Drawing on ethnographic, ethological, and historical data, we examined the relationships between orangutans and caregivers at Auckland Zoo. Caregivers displayed high levels of empathy and adjusted their husbandry routines to their interpretations of the orangutans’ moods. Caregivers experienced conflicts arising from their efforts to empathize. Although they agreed their husbandry approach improved welfare, they worried their interpretations of o…
Natureculture
Natureculture is the idea that nature and culture are so tightly interwoven that they cannot be separated into “nature” and “culture.” In primatology, a naturalcultural framework facilitates conceptual and empirical engagement with the salient sociocultural and ecological aspects of primate lives. These semiotic and material entanglements are increasingly evident as a result of humankind's sociocultural complexity and technological reach

Accessing Orangutans' Perspectives
Anthropologists are paying increasing attention to human/animal entanglements rather than treating animals merely as vehicles through which to explore human social life. We suggest that this emerging multispecies focus is best served by research that considers not only humans' responses to animals but also their responses to us and that attempts to access animals' subjective experiences. Following the interdisciplinary methods of ethnoprimatology…
Political-Ecological Dimensions of Silvery Gibbon Conservation Efforts
An emerging subset of social scientists is becoming immersed in approaches that combine ethnographic engagement with traditional ethological/ecological studies. In these endeavors the distinction between "human worlds" and "nature" is challenged and multispecies entanglements become central aspects of anthropogenic ecologies. In this article, we examine human social interactions and efforts toward understanding the ecological condition and plight…
Ethnoprimatology
The emerging practice of ethnoprimatology creates an important venue for diverse epistemologies in anthropology and primatology to interact in an intellectually robust and engaged manner. At the same time that multispecies ethnographies are becoming more common in social anthropology, a subset of primatologists are immersing themselves in approaches that merge ethnographic engagement with primate studies. In these endeavors the distinction betwee…
Examining the Bases of Power, Inequality, and Human Variation

Variation in the Social Systems of Extant Hominoids
Ethics commentary
Our primate kin are routinely displaced from their habitats, hunted for meat, captured for trade, housed in zoos, made to perform for our entertainment, and used as subjects in biomedical testing. They are also the subjects of research inquiries by field primatologists. In this article, we place primate field studies on a continuum of human and alloprimate relationships as a heuristic device to explore the unifying ethical implications of such in…
The State of Biological Anthropology in 2008
Biological anthropologists inform a largely professional discourse on the evolutionary history of our species. In addition, aspects of our biology, the ways in which we vary, and certain patterns of behavior are the subjects of a more public and popular conversation. The social contexts in which we work not only define our times but also produce the anthropologists that in turn construct an emergent understanding of our species' (and our societie…
