日本灵长类动物学在日本哺乳动物研究中具有独特的历史。一般来说，植物学家从系统学、形态学和生理学的角度收集标本开始研究，然后从生态学的角度研究这些特征的适应意义。日本的灵长类动物学家则是从社会学的角度出发进行研究的。第二次世界大战后，京都大学动物学系的今石锦司在宫崎县的丰崎角开始了对野马（Equus caballus）的实地研究。他研究的目的是了解物种社会，从而追溯人类社会的进化（阿斯奎斯1991，2000;高崎2000）。物种社会的概念是从他对在京都河流周围飞来飞去的蜉蝣的研究中发展起来的，并扩展到所有生物（Imanishi 1941）。他开始考虑动物社会的进化，特别是通过与其他动物社会的比较来考虑人类社会的进化（Imanishi 1951 a）。
Japanese primatology is characterized by a unique history among mammalian studies in Japan. In general, mammalogists initiated their studies by collecting specimens from the point of view of systematics, morphology, and physiology, and then investigated the adaptive significance of these traits from the aspect of ecology. In contrast, the Japanese primatologists initiated their studies with sociological perspectives. After World War II, Kinji Imanishi, based in the Department of Zoology, Kyoto University, started his field studies on feral horses (Equus caballus) at Cape Toimisaki in Miyazaki Prefecture. The aim of his study was to understand the species society and to thus trace the evolution of human society (Asquith 1991, 2000; Takasaki 2000). The concept of species society had developed from his study on mayflies skittering around the river in Kyoto and extended to all living things (Imanishi 1941). He began to consider the evolution of animal societies, and in particular, the evolution of human society through comparisons with other animal societies (Imanishi 1951a).
