Abstract

Young baboons appear to be generally less fearful of human Os than rhesus monkeys of the same age. Individual conspecific animals may also show considerable variation in their responses to man. Food- and water-competition tests designed to determine social rank may, therefore, be influenced by such individual differences. Since individual animals may not compete for provisions due to differential fear responses, an assumption of low rank may be incorrect.
