Abstract
Interest in the development of social behavior by young primates has generated considerable research effort over the past two decades. Social ontogeny has been studied in many primate species, both in the laboratory and in feral settings, and among the different primates perhaps the most thorough ontogenic data base exists for macaques, especially rhesus monkeys (M. mulatta). As a result, we presently know a great deal about how these monkeys develop socially in a variety of different rearing environments.
