Summary:A history of some details the author´s research in eastern Colombia is presented for the last 27 years since 1977 in Vichada, Vaupés, Amazonas and most recently in Meta up to the present. Some comments are made about each research project and in the context of primatology and some hypotheses and ideas of the author are presented about species, populations and other groups of mammals in the country. Especially discussed are aspects of Cebus albifrons and its relation to Sapajus (=Cebus) apella (a new taxonomic change) and the primates Callicebus lugens, Alouatta seniculus, Lagothrix lagothricha, Cacajao melanocephalus, Callicebus caquetensis and Callicebus ornatus.
