The waning of dependence in infant free‐ranging yellow baboons ( Papio cynocephalus ) of Mikumi National Park
Development toward independence during the early years of baboon life is reflected in the infant's transition from riding on its mother to walking on its own during progressions from one location to another. This transition was studied during the first year of life in 55 infants from two differently sized troops living in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. There was a nearly linear transition in the first year from almost 100% ventral riding to almo…
Movement patterns of yellow baboons ( Papio cynocephalus )
Age‐sex differences in the sociospatial positioning of progressing baboon troops have been postulated as an important, protective aspect of baboon adaptation to a terrestrial existence. The protection theory is an ultimate hypothesis which can be disproven by showing that the postulated age‐sex positioning fails to occur. Alternatively, confidence in the protection theory can be increased if the postulated positioning persists across several troo…
Movement patterns of yellow baboons ( Papio cynocephalus )
According to DeVore and Washburn's protection theory of the spatial organization of moving baboon troops, walking infants, which are among the most vulnerable and least self‐sufficient of all troop members, should tend to occupy the troop's center. The protection theory is an ultimate hypothesis from which persistently recurring behavior is expected. Two troops living in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania, were compared with troops studied at other l…
