The study of primate locomotion is a unique discipline that by its
nature is interdis ciplinary, drawing on and integrating research
from ethology, ecology, comparative anat omy, physiology,
biomechanics, paleontology, etc. When combined and focused on
particular problems this diversity of approaches permits
unparalleled insight into critical aspects of our evolutionary past
and into a major component of the behavioral repertoire of all
animals. Unfortunately, because of the structure of academia,
integration of these different approaches is a rare phenomenon. For
instance, papers on primate behavior tend to be published in
separate specialist journals and read by subgroups of
anthropologists and zoologists, thus precluding critical syntheses.
In the spring of 1995 we overcame this compartmentalization by
organizing a con ference that brought together experts with many
different perspectives on primate locomo tion to address the
current state of the field and to consider where we go from here.
The conference, Primate Locomotion-1995, took place thirty years
after the pioneering confer ence on the same topic that was
convened by the late Warren G. Kinzey at Davis in 1965."
