The Primate Society of Great Britain was established in 1967 by John Napier and colleagues for the scientific study of everything related to primates. It is credit to Napier’s foresight that the Society’s 400+ members represent fields as diverse as anatomy, behaviour, cognition, conservation, ecology, evolution, physiology, neuro- and veterinary sciences and captive welfare. The 50th anniversary conference was held at the Royal Geographical Society, London, on 28th – 29th November 2017. What more prestigious way to start a 50th celebration than with a letter of congratulations from the Queen, HRH Elizabeth II? This was read out as part of the President’s opening address by Simon Bearder to the 400 delegates gathered to celebrate past achievements and look forward to the next 50 years of primatology research in the UK
