Male monkeys don’t mind mama tagging along on search for mate

Having mom accompany you on club night or to a dance isn?t a notion most young men think of fondly. But new research by a University of Wisconsin-Madison anthropologist Karen B. Strier suggests that the arrangement works well for the male northern muriqui monkey. In fact, taking mom with you in search of mates appears to keep activity on the up and up. No inbreeding allowed.
