卷尾猴(Cebus)在形态、行为和生活史上与人类和猿类有一系列相似之处,这就提出了一系列关于这些特征之间的关系及其进化起源的问题。卷尾猴作为一个属和个体,在行为上具有显著的适应性和巨大的变异性。这两个特征直接促成了卷尾猴在生物学上的成功。可变性和适应性也是人类行为的标志。
Capuchins(Cebus)present an array of similarities to humans and apes in morphology, behavior and life history which raise a host of questions about the relations of these features to each other and about their evolutionary origins. As a genus and as individuals, capuchins possess marked adaptability and great variability in behavior. These two characteristics contribute directly to the biological success of capuchins. Variability and adaptability are also hallmarks of human behavior.
