Jeanne Altmann

Jeanne Altmann, born March 18, 1940, in New York City, is a Eugene Higgins Professor Emeritus of animal behavior and physiology at Princeton University. She is known for her research on the social behaviour of baboons, contributions to contemporary primate behavioural ecology, and for "revolutionizing" field-sampling methodology. Her paper in 1974 on the observational study of behaviour is a cornerstone for ecologists and has been cited over 20,000 times. She was also one of the first researchers to study primate mothers and the effects of genes on parenting and mating. She is a founder and Director Emerita of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project, a former Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, and a member of the American Philosophical Society (2020).
