Late bloomers in play
Inertia and Rapid Divergence in the Evolution of Yawning
Complex communication systems appear to evolve alongside social complexity. Comparing closely related species with similar social structures but distinct sociobiology offers valuable insights into the evolution of communicative variability. Here, we explore yawning (morphology, sensory modalities, contexts, contagious effect), a highly conserved behavioral trait, in two zoo‐housed groups of geladas ( Theropithecus gelada , n subjects = 67, n yawn…
Yawn Contagion and Modality‐Matching in the Female‐Bonded Society of Geladas ( Theropithecus gelada )
Behavioral contagion is widespread in primates, with yawn contagion (YC) being a well‐known example. Often associated with ingroup dynamics and synchronization, the possible functions and evolutionary pathways of YC remain subjects of active debate. Among nonhuman animals, geladas ( Theropithecus gelada ) are the only species known to occasionally emit a distinct vocalization while yawning. Yet, the role of different sensory modalities in YC rema…
