Document Summary
Look out for each other: avoiding predators. Esp. lemurs (primates that are small in size) Large groups lemurs forge for food on the group even though it is more dangerous. Small group lemurs rather stay on trees. Much more complex than we have thought. Couple remains together and marry her young even though may be been fathered with a diff male. Couple stay together and only reproduce exclusively with each other. Males and females cheat on each other: polygamy polygyny and polyandry, one male polygyny 1 male and multiple females. Females are free to accept or not accept the males. Most of the time females will mate with the males that are successful in intermate competition. Accept winner as the males of the group. Allow the male to mate with them. Infanticide kill all the babies so that the female would make new babies with the new male: multi-male polygyny multiple males and multiple females.
