Meticulously researched

article of great significance to Primatology debate. When I studied the subject as an undergraduate at Cambridge University it would have been very helpful if such an article had been available, as the material tended to assume the rationality of animal experiments, and not look at the basis for them. By digging deeper Andrew Knight is providing a valuable article in the sense of a Kuhnian paradigm, one that helps to redefine the subject itself. This article is one that in the future will be seen as having ground-shifting significance. Deserves to be widely distributed and used in university courses.
