Etymology
The term 'marmoset' originates from the French word 'marmoset', which is derived from 'marmot'. It was first used in the English language in the late 16th century to refer to small monkeys. The name itself is thought to be linked to the resemblance of these small primates to the more commonly known marmots. Marmosets have been a subject of fascination due to their unique adaptations and social structures. Over the years, they have been extensively studied for their behavior and vocal communication. Their adaptability to various habitats has made them a common subject in zoological studies.
