Resumen
Se relata algunos detalles de la historia de las investigaciones del autor en el oriente de Colombia durante 27 años de trabajo en Vichada, Vaupés, Amazonas y más recientemente en el Meta, desde 1977 hasta el presente. Se hace comentarios sobre cada investigación, ubicándola en el contexto de la primatología y se destacan algunas hipótesis e ideas del autor en cuanto a la naturaleza de las especies, las poblaciones de primates y otros grupos de mamíferos en el país. Especialmente se discute aspectos de los primates Cebus albifrons y su relación con Sapajus (=Cebus) apella (nuevo cambio taxonómico) , y los primates Callicebus lugens, Alouatta seniculus, Lagothrix lagothricha, Cacajao melanocephalus, Callicebus caquetensis y Callicebus ornatus.
