Despite potentially diverging interests, members of social groups coordinate to maintain group cohesion. The mechanisms and processes of group coordination are modulated by species- and context-specific factors. The genus Papio (baboons) has been proven to be a good model for the investigations of group coordination processes. It comprises six closely related species, which live in different habitats and social systems. Since baboons are adapted to a largely terrestrial life and occur in habitats similar to those where our hominin ancestors evolved, group coordination processes in baboons m...
