Desde una perspectiva etológica, el estudio del comportamiento requiere una base descriptiva. La descripción no es en sí misma un fin, pero sí una herramienta necesaria para llegar a conocer el significado y/o función de la conducta. Partiendo de la descripción hecha en artículos anteriores, hemos utilizado los movimientos de saludo como un ejemplo de lo que la perspectiva etológica puede aportar al conocimiento de algunos aspectos relevantes de la conducta social en primates.
