Why Is Wolf Dittus Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Wolfgang Peter Johann Dittus is a primatologist and behavioral ecologist based in Sri Lanka. Early life Born in Berlin, Germany, and brought up in the rural Black Forest region Baden-Württemberg, Wolfgang 'Wolf' Dittus migrated to Canada in 1953, where he studied geology at McGill University. During this time, however, his interests shifted to psychology and zoology, his early research having been on the song patterns of cardinal birds, inspiring an interest in animal communication in general.
