From the Paper:

" Naturalists seek to observe animals in their natural habitat and so to learn the adaptive capabilities of different creatures. Primatologists observe the behavior of primates to see both how these animals adapt and to derive some idea of how the human being adapts as well. The Yellow Baboon--papio cynocephalus cynocephalus--has been observed by several different researchers and naturalists in recent years, and different idea about their behavior have bene offered in the literature as a result.

The Yellow Baboon is also known as the Savanna Baboon, or rather it is a subspecies of the Savanna Baboon, along with the olive Baboon, the Guinea Baboon, and the Chacma Baboon. The Yellow Baboon is a large monkey with a head like a dog, which is where the name cynocephalus is derived from "cyno" for dog and "cephalus" for head. The male weighs between 59 and 97 pounds.."
