Primatology, Ethics and Trauma 1st Edition

Primatology, Ethics and Trauma (1st Edition) by Robert Ingersoll and Antonina Anna Scarnà is a timely, thought-provoking exploration of the moral and psychological dimensions of working with nonhuman primates. Written for researchers, conservationists, veterinarians, and students, this book confronts the complex intersections of scientific inquiry, welfare, and the lasting effects of trauma on both animals and humans.

Begin with clarity: the authors map contemporary ethical debates in primatology and provide accessible frameworks to navigate difficult decisions in field and captive settings. Readable yet rigorous, the text balances theory with real-world relevance, helping readers understand how research practices, institutional policies, and cultural contexts shape outcomes for primates and people.

Readers will appreciate clear analyses of consent, harm reduction, and trauma-informed approaches that improve study design and animal care. The book’s global perspective makes it especially useful for those working in diverse ecological regions and research environments—from field sites to lab contexts—offering guidance that is applicable across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and beyond.

Whether you’re a graduate student, a practitioner designing ethical protocols, or a policy-maker seeking deeper insight, this 1st Edition delivers critical tools for responsible practice. Thoughtful, engaging, and practical, Primatology, Ethics and Trauma equips professionals with the language and strategies needed to advance humane, scientifically sound research.
