Humans cuddle up to meerkats in the ranks of monogamy

Humans are a bit like peerkats when it comes to mating, according to researchers who have studied the monoogous lifestyles of different species.

In our romantic life, we are closer almost as well as interesting, the mongoose arch is mongooses through kual and “monogunde recently cut by scientists.

At 66% monogramous, humans score surprisingly well, far above chimps and gorillas – and in meerkats.

But, we don’t use the most monogamous creatures. The point above the Californe rat – a rodent that is shaped like an atelab is used, long life.

“There is a league of denial, where humans sit, while the majority of mammals for a more distant approach,” said Dr. Coating.

In animals, we again have nurses, all of which are still independently defended in some species, including us. Experts have proposed various benefits of so-called social monogamy, where couples are matched for at least the breeding season to care for the young.

Ded Sencana organizes various human populations throughout history, accounting for their relative proportions – where individuals share a mother, a second father. Similar data were obtained from more than 30 other socially monogamous mammals.

Humans have a monogamy rating of 66% of the full cycle, ahead of meerkats (60%) but behind beavers (73%).

Meanwhile, others of this evolution fell under the table – with mountain gorillas mountain 6 hundred, while rumurees consumed 4% (dolphin side).

In the present place is the scotland-scotland sheep, where females are mixed with several males, with 0.6% of all full siblings. California mousse is up to the top, at 100%.

However, having been separated from Meerkats and Sapongir does not mean that our guarantee is the same – a progressive human society.

“Although the full binary level we are most similar to species such as meerkats or Brever, the social system we see in BBC funding.

“Most of these species live in social groups-like colonies or perhaps live in solitary pairs that are side by side. We are very different from those who are mobile, units.

Dr. Kit Oceie at the University of Bristol, the unconnected and studied, said another part of the puzzle of human monogamy has arisen.

“I think this article helps us to have a clear understanding of the speed of time and the rent of human space,” he said.

“Maturalicy is closer to Chimpos and Bonobos – It just happens that we have taken different routes as children.”
