ABSTRACT
This is a story of a scientist couple brought together by their love of animals. Our complementary backgrounds and professional training make us a strong multidisciplinary couple. Netzin has degrees and training in anthropology, biology and primatology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and evolutionary psychology. Dieter’s degrees and training comprise biological anthropology, primatology, comparative anatomy, behavioral biology, and neurobiology. We pursued primatology independently, with both of us studying primates in the wild, and Dieter adding considerable experimental laboratory work (hormone and neurobiological studies) working with several monkey species. It’s no accident that we met at a primatology conference and sealed our destiny together.
