What social sience studies the behavior of other primates? Why?

Question

Is it Anthropology, Sociology, History or Psychology?

Answer 1

Primatology is the study of primates and their behaviors.  The field was popularized by such famous women as Jane Goodall and Diane Fosse who studied Chimps and Gorillas respectively.  There are many other fields that delve into primate studies but primatology is the main one.  Others include linguistics, sociology, anthropology (which is often the department from which primatology is taught), psychology, education and medical studies (such as zoopharmacognosy, learning about medicinal materials from animals in the wild).

Short Answer:  Anthropology as the umbrella for primatology would be the choice of your four options.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Anthropology mainly, although studying their behavior has practical uses for sociology and psychology as well.
