Three selected groups of studies of primate social behavior and development are discussed. In the first group of studies the social development of rhesus monkeys reared in different environments is considered. Rhesus show remarkable similarity in behavior in diverse environments, demonstrating a phylogenetic set to develop species-typical behavioral repertoires. The second set of studies reports on three species (Macaca mulatta, Macaca fasicularis, and Erythrocebus patas) reared in similar settings. Species differences observed in these settings were a result of phylogenetic set. Finally, mother-infant seperation studies conducted with several monkey species are reviewed. The results of these studies were interpreted to be the product of each species, the specific setting or apparatus used, and the independent variable manipulation employed. Caution is recommended in cross-species generalization within primates.
本文讨论了灵长类动物社会行为与发育方面的三组选定研究。在第一组研究中，探讨了在不同环境中饲养的恒河猴的社会发育情况。恒河猴在多样的环境中表现出显著的行为相似性，表明其具有发展出物种典型行为模式的系统发育倾向。第二组研究报告了在相似环境中饲养的三个物种（猕猴、食蟹猴和赤猴）的情况。在这些环境中观察到的物种差异是系统发育倾向的结果。最后，回顾了对几种猴类进行的母婴分离研究。这些研究的结果被解释为每个物种、所使用的特定环境或仪器以及所采用的自变量操作的产物。建议在灵长类动物跨物种概括时谨慎行事。
