Spanish term or phrase: ecología evolucionista, primatológica y antropológica
I'm trying to translate a paper from Spanish to English.
I talks about several lines of research, and this is the description of the last one

Finalmente, los estudios de los sistemas ecológicos de los Neandertales utilizando los datos comparativos y teóricos desde la ecología evolucionista, primatológica y antropológica.

My try:
The last line focuses on the research of Neanderthals ecological systems, using comparative and theoretical data taken from the primatologic and anthropologic evolutionist ecology.

Any suggestions are welcome
Cheers

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: 'primate' doesn't fit the series; it should be 'primatological'. Even so, the series trumps the "official" name in this case.

  -> The field is "primate ecology" not "primatological ecology"...

agree  SilviaInt: I agree with primate, I am not sure primatological exists!

disagree  philgoddard: Anthropological anthropology?
3 mins
  -> Of course not!

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: I think you meant to say 'ecology' at the end. I much prefer 'primatological' because it maintains the pattern in the series.
33 mins
  -> Yes, you're correct Muriel. I did mean to say "ecology" at the end, but I got so caught up in all the "logicals" that it escaped my notice. And "prrimatological" does exist as a term.
