description This special section « Looks on the past » has been composed from a congress that was organized for the thirtieth anniversary of the French Society of Primatology. The first part, which is devoted to the history of primatology, presents analyses from historians and focuses on the increasing scientific interest for primates as models in medical and cognitive experiments in the twentieth century. It shows how primates always occupy a position of interface within the dualities that structure scientific knowledge: human/animal, civilized/wild, laboratory/field, colony/metropolis. The second part presents different ways to study the past of primate societies from a primatological point of view. Here, three contributions consider the past with three time scales (paleontological, ecological, ethological) where primates are models to study human evolution. This special section thus proposes complementary perspectives on the study of temporality in primatology as well as works from historians rarely circulated towards primatologists.
