Ochrona pawianów w Kenii - Redux

PhD student Shuyu He uses a centrifuge in the field to prepare a blood sample taken from sedated baboon Olduvai, the alpha male in his troop, in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, on June 8, 2022. Researchers here are observing troops of yellow baboon to understand how social habits affect health. Strong relationships seem to help baboons overcome early life adversity, and that could have big implications for human health. Olduvai is among the first of a recent wave on immigration into Acacia’s group, joining in May 2022. The research team estimates that Olduvai is about 8.5 years old. According to their preliminary ranks, Olduvai was the alpha male in December 2021 and has been doing wellÃłno recorded wounds sustained in his immigration/rank vying process. For nearly 50 years researchers at the Amboseli Baboon Research Project have been recording the behaviors of wild baboons, using precise observational tools. The data reveal that baboons that have early adversity tend to die younger than those that do not. There is new evidence, however, that a baboon might be able to overcome a tough early life by building strong relationships with others in its community. Amboseli researchers suggest that stable social connections might play a role in biological health. These new ideas in evolutionary science could change our understanding of (and approach to) public health. Humans with childhood adversity tend to get sicker: Could strong relationships help rescue people from their rough starts?
