Barbara King suggests that 2013 should be the Year of the Chimpanzee. I think this is a great idea! The year is starting off with Jane Goodall as the Grand Marshall of the Rose Parade.
I ended 2012 by finishing and defending my PhD, and now I am onto developing some potential chimpanzee and bonobo projects. So, the Year of Chimpanzee works well with my current interests. But don't worry, I won't be neglecting the spider monkeys... there are always more spider monkey tales to tell!
See some of the links below for more on the beginning of the Year of the Chimpanzee!
