We have, in other words, added the paleo-ethologist to the list of those who work in pluridisciplinary teams researching into Prehistory, namely technologists, archaeozoologists, palinologists, sedimentologists, paleoanthropologists and other specialists. Many living species of primates show patterns of behaviour which could well have been used by fossil hominids. Examples of this are forms of social structure of baboons and the technical skills of chimpanzees.
Ethnology is the science which studies human groups.
We will never be able to reconstruct behaviour patterns by simply focusing on archaeological remains. We also have to attempt to experimentally reproduce techniques and activities of the time which led, for instance, to the making of a series of stone tools, the curing of animal skin, etc. We will be adding many more addresses which bear relation to our studies.
