“…Direct gaze is an aversive, threatening signal for rhesus monkeys [73,74], so in order to study the development of gaze avoidance, Mendelson [10] implanted newborn rhesus monkeys with sclera coils that provide the ability to accurately measure viewing duration. At one, three and seven weeks of age, monkeys were shown conspecific's faces with their gaze either slightly averted, or direct.…”

The ability to recognize faces is an important socio-cognitive skill that is associated with a number of cognitive specializations in humans. While numerous studies have examined the presence of these specializations in non-human primates, species where face recognition would confer distinct advantages in social situations, results have been mixed. The majority of studies in chimpanzees support homologous face-processing mechanisms with humans, but results from monkey studies appear largely dependent on the type of testing methods used. Studies that employ passive viewing paradigms, like the visual paired comparison task, report evidence of similarities between monkeys and humans, but tasks that use more stringent, operant response tasks, like the matching-to-sample task, often report species differences. Moreover, the data suggest that monkeys may be less sensitive than chimpanzees and humans to the precise spacing of facial features, in addition to the surface-based cues reflected in those features, information that is critical for the representation of individual identity. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the available data from faceprocessing tasks in non-human primates with the goal of understanding the evolution of this complex cognitive skill.

“…The communicative function of facial displays has been investigated primarily in Old World primate species, namely macaques and chimpanzees [Hinde and Rowell, 1962;van Hooff, 1967van Hooff, , 1972Chevalier-Skolnikoff, 1973, 1982Redican, 1975;Preuschoft, 1995;van Hooff, 1995a, 1997;de Waal, 2003]. The very few studies focused on the ontogeny of facial displays (see Chevalier-Skolnikoff [1974] for Macaca arctoides and Plooij [1984] for Pan troglodytes ) have shown that in macaques and chimpanzees facial displays develop gradually, changing in shape and often in function from the infant to the adult forms (see Maestripieri and Call [1996] for a review).…”

Facial displays are important for communication, and their ontogeny has been studied primarily in chimpanzees and macaques. We investigated the ontogeny, communicative function and target of facial displays in Cebus apella. Our results show that facial displays are absent at birth and develop as infants grow older. Lip-smacking appears first (at about 1 month of age), followed by scalp-lifting, relaxed open-mouth, silent bared-teeth, open-mouth silent bared-teeth displays and finally the open-mouth threat face. Infants perform most facial displays in the same contexts as adults, with the exception of the silent bared-teeth display that young capuchins use primarily, or exclusively, in affiliative contexts. Interestingly, facial displays are exchanged very often with peers, less frequently with adults and almost never with the mother.

“…However, because PI did not escape from their sight and just crouched in open areas, without exhibiting any submissive or reconciliatory behavior toward his attackers, the troop males did not recognize the end of the conflict [Hinde and Rowell, 1962;Maestripieri and Wallen, 1997].…”

Aggressive Behavior

An adolescent wild male Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata), following Kinkazan A troop, was attacked one-sidedly by multiple members of the troop. The victim was identified as PI, and was estimated to be seven+/-one year old. The aggressive interaction was recorded by video camera until the end. Although at least 16 troop members approached PI more than once, only three males (one adult, two adolescents) of A troop attacked him. PI kept crouching throughout the attack, then escaped to the shore and dived into the sea. The interaction continued for more than one hour. PI was found dead a few hours after the end of interaction. The damage caused by the assailants was not the direct cause of PI's death; it was due to hypothermia caused by drifting in the sea. PI's life history was reconstructed from past records. PI was a normal adolescent male who migrated from an all-male group around B1 troop and started ranging around A troop. The aggressive interaction is believed to be a typical example of conflict between troop males and a nontroop male. The interaction period was very long compared with previous reports on such conflicts among Japanese macaques. PI kept crouching in open areas, exposing himself as a potential competitor for the resources of the troop, and did not show any submissive or reconciliatory behavior toward the troop males. This may be why the troop males did not stop the attack.
