I was wondering if there are any studies that have researched how other primates diversify their genes?
Do young primates get driven away from the groups they get born into after they age to maturity? Is there a difference between what happens to males vs. females?
And if some of them stick around, how do they "monitor" for the genetic diversity when mating to avoid birth defects? (Assuming that they have this same problem as humans)
Any thoughts appreciated!
p.s. I did find some good information in this article:
