  • Descrição: In most primate species, males transfer out of their natal groups, resulting in groups of unrelated males. However, in a few species, including humans, males remain in their groups and form life‐long associations with each other. This pattern of male philopatry is linked with cooperative male behaviors, including border patrols and predator defense. Because females in male‐philopatric species form weaker kin networks with each other than in female‐philopatric species, they are expected to evolve counter‐strategies to male sexual coercion that are relatively independent of support from other females. Studies of male‐philopatric nonhuman primates can provide insight into the evolutionary basis of prosocial behaviors, cooperation, and group action in humans and offer comparative models for understanding the sociality of other hominin species. This review will discuss patterns of dispersal and philopatry across primates, explore the resulting male and female behaviors, and argue that male‐philopatric nonhuman primate species offer insight into the social and sexual dynamics of hominins throughout evolution.
