Abstract

ABSTRACT Play fighting involves competing for an advantage, which can be derived from behavior typical of conspecific aggression, predation, sexual and other affinitive contexts. Here the phylogenetic distribution of aggressive play fighting (involving biting) and amicable play fighting (involving grooming and mounting) in juveniles of 48 species of primates was analyzed. Both aggressive and amicable play fighting were likely equally present in ancestral primates, and then some lineages either maintained that pattern or exaggerated the use of one type relative to the other. In species engaging in both types of play, the ancestral pattern is for them to remain distinct, with sequences of one type not transforming into sequences of the other type. In two genera, mixing types of play was exaggerated, with rapid bidirectional transitions between aggressive and amicable play. These findings suggest that different types of play evolved independently and their combination is a secondarily evolved, derived state.

灵长类动物攻击性和友好的游戏战斗的进化:系统发育的观点
游戏打斗包括竞争优势,这可以从同种攻击、捕食、性和其他亲和环境的典型行为中获得。本文分析了48种灵长类动物幼体的攻击性游戏打斗(包括撕咬)和友好游戏打斗(包括梳理和骑马)的系统发育分布。在灵长类祖先中,攻击性打斗和友好打斗可能同样存在,然后一些谱系要么保持这种模式,要么相对于另一种类型夸张地使用一种类型。在参与两种类型游戏的物种中,祖先的模式是让它们保持不同,一种类型的序列不会转化为另一种类型的序列。在两种类型中,混合类型的游戏被夸大了,在侵略性和友好的游戏之间快速双向转换。这些发现表明,不同类型的游戏是独立进化的,它们的结合是一种次级进化的衍生状态。
