THE FOUNDATION OF ANTHROPOID-RESEARCH-STA TION IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH-CENTURY

The foundation of anthropoid research stations at the beginning of the 20th century began with the station of the Prussian Acedemy Berlin in Orotava/Tenerife (1912-1920). This was followed by the station of the Pasteur Institute Paris in Kindia/French Guinea (1923-1960), the Prim ate Research Laboratory of the Yale University New Haven (1925-today), the Sukhumi Monkey Breeding Station/Sukhumi UdSSR (1927-today) and di e Hamilton Research Laboratory on Montecido/USA (1910-1918). With the foundation of such anthropoid stations significant improvments were ac hieved in the investigation of the biology of these animals under almo st seminatural conditions. It was the beginning of a new era in biomed ical research.
