what are two behavioral processes by which nonhuman primates avoid inbreeding.?

Dispersal of males (and females remain in the mother group) and... not quite sure.\nCheck this: http://www.eva.mpg.de/primat/pdf/MunizCurrentBiol2006.pdf

No, inbreeding is not an optimal method of reproduction, but it has purpose.  It's a natural part of evolution for a species to allow inbreeding.  In order to prevent extincition, small populations need to be able to multiply any way they can until the gene pool can become more varied.

It's genetic. We are all related to the animals. Look at the chimp in the zoo. Look at the face and the ears.

Nope, haven't found a diagram but did find out:\n\n Ring-tailed lemurs share unique dental characteristics with other members of the Superfamily Lemuroidea; they have specialized teeth in their lower jaw that form a dental comb. These long, narrow teeth project nearly straight forward from the jaw and this specialized dentition is thought to aid in grooming (Swindler 2002).\n\nThough this may help - see also the links at the side of the page:\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16962643\n\nMaybe you could contact the author of this article & see if he would provide you with more detailed information from the study that he made?

hahahayhhahaha.\n\nthe gay monkeys did not 'evolute' in to straight right wing bible thumpers.\n\nactually homosexuality is very common in the animal kingdom\n\nMale big horn sheep live in what are often called "homosexual societies." They bond through genital licking and anal intercourse, which often ends in ejaculation. If a male sheep chooses to not have gay sex, it becomes a social outcast. Ironically, scientists call such straight-laced males "effeminate."\n\nGiraffes have all-male orgies. So do bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, gray whales, and West Indian manatees. Japanese macaques, on the other hand, are ardent lesbians; the females enthusiastically mount each other. Bonobos, one of our closest primate relatives, are similar, except that their lesbian sexual encounters occur every two hours. Male bonobos engage in "penis fencing," which leads, surprisingly enough, to ejaculation. They also give each other genital massages.

Baboons are considered monkeys because they have tails.  Apes like gorillas and chimpanzees don't have tails and therefore are not considered monkeys.

There are two species of chipanzees, but they are both small, black-haired apes. Gorillas are very large, with males being much larger than the females. Chimps and gorillas live in Africa. They all form social groups\n\nOrangutans are red-haired, solitary apes that live in the islands of south east Asia (Indonesia etc). Like the gorillas, the males are much larger than the females.

I will give you a couple but you need to look up the rest.\n\n2 reasons zoos use artificial insemination. 1) usually a zoo will have very closely related animals in a collection, often parent and offspring or siblings.  To reduce inbreeding they will get semen from outside sources to impregnate resident females.  2) usually a zoo environment is not conducive for romance between an animal pair.  This problem is circumvented by using artificial insemination so the female can become pregnant without having to go through the courting rituals.\n\nArtificial or in vitro fertilization is used for humans for two major reasons.  1) low sperm count on the part of the males can be compensated for by specifically introducing donated sperm to the egg.  2) Damaged or obstructed fallopian tubes can be circumvented using in vitro fertilization where the egg and sperm are joined in a petri dish and the fertilized egg is returned to the uterus.\n\nFinally risk of passing a genetic disease to offspring is a matter of simple math.  For the donor that carries a dominant trait for a given disease, there will be a certainty of passing on the condition.  For the donor that carries a recessive trait for a disease there are the odds of joining with a mate that also carries the recessive gene for the trait.  Then there are the odds of both parents passing that recessive gene to the offspring.  \nNow the rest are up to you, unless someone out there lets you off easy and answers the rest.

No, Chimpanzees have different blood types, as do Monkeys of different species, as do Horses, as do Lions, as do many other animals.  It has something to do with workings of the immune system I think.

Even monkeys make war. Its nature.

This is often thought of as heplful in the mating process. It gives a "target" of sorts. Kind of the same idea as baboon butts.

Yes.  One of the reasons is because of it's habitat was such that it has led to a great deal of inbreeding.  Genetic analyses of semen samples have shown that this is a big problem for the propagation of the species.  Additionally, cheetah mating tends to be a very violent affair in which after copulation, the male has been known to actually kill the female.  Finally, by nature of it's habitat and competition with other predators, infant mortality is high.\n\nThe cheetah, while undoubtedly affected by man, may also be a casualty of Darwinism.

Exactly. Humans did not evolve from primates. The theory of evolution is full of holes.

Great question. Here's the answer:\n\nThe want to interact BECAUSE they need to. Why?\nSocial behavior leads to:\n(a) sex and reproduction (to keep us here on Earth)\n(b) culture and traditions to support (a).\n\nIf this is the best answer, please rate it the best answer. Thanks!

We share a recent common ancestor with chimpanzees and gorillas; we have many \nanatomical, \ngenetic, \nbiochemical, \nand even behavioral similarities with these African great apes.\n We are less similar to the Asian apes--orangutans and gibbons--and even less similar to monkeys, because we share common ancestors with these groups in the more distant past. \nOf course we cant interbreed!!!! we have 23 sets of chromosomes and apes have 24!!!!!

sex with monkeys\n\nLegend, based on the fact that some monkeys carry a similar virus, but it is not the same virus, so that can't be the source.

It is also believed to be linked to social bonding.\n\nExperiments with chimps have shown that they also yawn when another chimp yawns.  Also videos (night video) in caves, where there is no light, where a certain species of monkey sleep - shows that they all yawn audibly before going to sleep.  Kind of a way of letting everyone know that they're there, even though they can't see each other.\n\nThis has probably carried through to humans.\n\nHave a look at http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Science/Question117042.html\n\nor\nhttp://webperso.easyconnect.fr/baillement/contagion-platek.html
