Universal Aspects of Kinship
The Evolutionary Origins of Kinship Structures
Patrilineal kinship structures are among the most complex manifestations of the impact of kinship on human social life. Despite the fact that such structures take highly diverse forms across cultures, that they are absent in many human societies and, moreover, that they are not observed in other primate species, a comparative analysis of human and nonhuman primate societies reveals that human kinship structures have deep evolutionary roots and cl…
Competence and the Evolutionary Origins of Status and Power in Humans
Complex Kinship Patterns as Evolutionary Constructions, and the Origins of Sociocultural Universals
Human societies share a large number of complex social traits relating to kinship, which together constitute what is called here the human kinship configuration. I use a comparative phylogenetic approach to show that each of the traits making up that configuration has an evolutionary history and hence a biological foundation. The origin of many complex traits may be explained in terms of emergent products of the combination of more elementary fea…
Monogamy, strongly bonded groups, and the evolution of human social structure
Human social evolution has most often been treated in a piecemeal fashion, with studies focusing on the evolution of specific components of human society such as pair‐bonding, cooperative hunting, male provisioning, grandmothering, cooperative breeding, food sharing, male competition, male violence, sexual coercion, territoriality, and between‐group conflicts. Evolutionary models about any one of those components are usually concerned with two ca…
Evolution of Multilevel Social Systems in Nonhuman Primates and Humans
Multilevel (or modular) societies are a distinct type of primate social system whose key features are single-male-multifemale, core units nested within larger social bands. They are not equivalent to fission-fusion societies, with the latter referring to routine variability in associations, either on an individual or subunit level. The purpose of this review is to characterize and operationalize multilevel societies and to outline their putative …

Pouvoir, alliances et politique: Des Primates À l'Homme
Pouvoir, alliances et politique : des primates à l'homme Nous présentons une synthèse des rapports de pouvoir et des alliances chez les primates non humains dans le but d'identifier quelques-uns des antécédents évolutifs du phénomène politique humain. Le pouvoir chez les primates est de nature essentiellement coer-citive et donne lieu à de nombreux types d'alliances: protection ou défense unilatérale, coalitions révolutionnaires, rebelle, conserv…

Kinship Bonds Are Not Necessary for Maintaining Matrilineal Rank in Captive Japanese Macaques
Development of intervention behavior in Japanese macaques: Testing the targeting hypothesis
Induction of matrilineal rank instability by the alpha male in a group of Japanese macaques
Destabilizing alliances and ensuing rank changes occur infrequently in matrilineal dominance systems, and consequently very little is known about their dynamics. In one such type of alliance, called bridging, dominant individuals are ultimately responsible for subordinate monkeys out‐ranking intermediate‐ranking animals. Previously reported bridging alliances were based on sexual attraction, kinship ties, or special affinitive bonds between partn…
Dominance competition through affiliation and support in Japanese macaques: An experimental study
Alliances as a means of competition in primates: Evolutionary, developmental, and cognitive aspects
Nonhuman primates commonly compete for mates, physical resources and dominance status. Competition is manifest in one-to-one contests or in more complex, multipartite aggressive interactions involving the formation of alliances. In this paper, five aspects of competitive alliances are reviewed: 1) the evolutionary and ecological conditions favoring the occurrence of alliances among females, among males, and between males and females, 2) the dynam…

Homosexual incest avoidance among females in captive Japanese macaques
This paper reports a systematic pattern of homosexual incest avoidance among females in a captive group of Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata ) culled from the Arashiyama‐West troop known for its high rates of female homosexuality. The study group included three matrilines and two generations. Between eight and 11 females were sexually active over four consecutive mating seasons, and all engaged in both heterosexual and homosexual activity. While…

An experimental analysis of a mother-daughter rank reversal in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
Differential effects of kinship, dominance, and the mating season on female allogrooming in a captive group ofMacaca fuscata
Experimental rank reversals among peers in Macaca fuscata: Rank is maintained after the removal of kin support
In many species of cercopithecines female rank is inherited matrilineally so that maternal kin occupy adjacent ranks. A female is said to have acquired her matrilineal rank in relation to a given subordinate female when the submission she receives from that female and the aggression she directs to her are both unidirectional. Kin support appears to be important in that process (rank acquisition). Matrilineally dominant females also appear to need…
