Orang and bushbaby social life: Why so similar?

Abstract

Article is a comparative study of the behavior of the bushbaby and the orang-utan. Both the galago, a prosimian, and the orang , a great ape, exhibit a "solitary" pattern or social structure. Smith correlates similarities between these two primates and points out that such comparative analysis has not been utilized previously. He further posits new questions which could be followed in field research in this area.
