Male infanticide leads to social monogamy in primates
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that biparental care shortens relative lactation length, thereby reducing infanticide risk and increasing reproductive rates, and phylogenetic analyses support a key role for infanticides in the social evolution of primates, and potentially, humans.
