Animals are known to prefer kin as social partners. But non-kin bonds are surprisingly common too. So, who forms them, how stable are they & what drives them?
In our new @animbehsociety.bsky.social paper we tackle these overlooked questions in free-living rhesus macaques:

Chimpanzees usually fail a simple pointing task that human infants and dogs pass.
In our new iScience paper, we provide a possible explanation: once their attention is engaged, chimpanzees use human pointing to find hidden food 73% of the time.
Attention may be the missing piece.
