• Resumen

  • It's just like the Greek warriors Achilles and Patroclus. Chimpanzees like to head into bathe alongside a close friend--a tactic that lowers stress levels. Individuals of many primate species, including macaques and baboons, form strong, long-lasting social bonds that resemble human friendship. These relationships appear to benefit both males and females: they are associated with higher reproductive success and even longer life.
