Description
"This book is a history of the Yerkes Laboratories of Primate Biology. The facility was founded as the Laboratories of Comparative Psychobiology of Yale University by Robert M. Yerkes, one of the leading psychologists of the twentieth century. The Yerkes Laboratories became the largest and most important collection of chimpanzees for research in the world. During its thirty-five-year history it was home to some of the leading behavioral scientists of the time." "While this is primarily a narrative history of the Laboratories, various themes emerge, among them patronage, professionalization, the idiosyncrasies of individual leaders, change, urbanization, culture shock, the hegemony of medical research, race, and gender."--Jacket.
