My Descent from the Monkey

Abstract

I want to explain why a credentialed specialist in primate social behavior should have wanted to become an ornithologist, just when the Age of Primates was at its height. Could it have been only an obstinate inclination to be always where the action isn’t, or could it be that primatology ceased to generate the kind of intellectual action that makes for sustained progress in a scientific domain?
