Biological anthropologists have observed several capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica rub themselves with the leaves of the Piper plant. The monkeys often chew the leaves slightly before wadding them up and rubbing them all over their fur. This same plant is used medicinally by people for many purposes including as an insect repellent. Although it remains unclear why the monkeys engage in this leaf-rubbing behavior, researchers have noted that the behavior is more common in times of year when insect activity is higher. What is the primary type of biological anthropology addressed in this research?

Primatology

Explanation:

Primatology is the study of primates' behavior. This is an important science for evolution and human behavioral genesis comprehension. It is also very important to keep these species in freedom and take good care of those animals that are in captivity by keeping in optimum conditions their environment.  

Primatology approximation seems to be each time more interdisciplinary, abording it from both the Biological Sciences and the Social and Human Sciences. Different social areas are involved, such as philosophy, anthropology, psychology, among others.

Primatology extends from the anatomy of the primates ancestors to field studies about behavior and the ecology of the current species. It studies the philosophy of primates and their language. Primate language drives to the knowledge about humanity ancestors.
