In a comment, Fry says that he has been fortunate to meet and interact with a large number of primates "from the different branches of our large family" and that there is much that humans can learn from them.

"I am very proud to have been asked to become patron of the Primate Society of Great Britain, whose work in conservation and research, both nationally and internationally, is hugely respected."
