“…Female chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, spent less time in parties with males and especially little time in parties with males that were considered particularly dangerous 127 . Similarly, in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, female chimpanzees spent more time with their brothers and sons than with unrelated males when they were not maximally tumescent, especially during the postpartum period 128 …”

“…127 Similarly, in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, female chimpanzees spent more time with their brothers and sons than with unrelated males when they were not maximally tumescent, especially during the postpartum period. 128 In any species where there is variation in male mating tactics across different populations, we would expect there to also be variation in female sexual strategies across these populations. Sexual strategies are expected to be flexible and change with differing conditions.…”

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.
