战斗干扰数据从一组自由放养的恒河猴在卡约圣地亚哥被用来测试假说的进化和重要性的利他主义。无论是女性还是出生时的男性（出生在这个群体中的男性），帮助近亲的次数都多于帮助远亲的次数，而帮助远亲的次数多于帮助非亲属的次数。这一结果与亲缘选择理论的预测相一致。女性援助非亲属比女性援助亲属涉及更高的风险和更大的成功。这与亲缘选择或利他主义的任何严格的遗传解释都不一致。纳塔尔和非出生男性也不完全符合严格的遗传解释所提出的模式。总的来说，研究结果表明，生存价值，从而干预行为的演变涉及的因素，通过社会和遗传水平的组织。恒河猴显然将干扰作为建立社会联系和确保群体成员资格的一种手段。对于猕猴来说，这种成员关系是至关重要的，因为社会群体是大多数行为的背景。因此，没有很好地整合的动物可能永远无法达到交配或成功养育后代的地步。
Fight interference data from a group of free-ranging rhesus monkeys at Cayo Santiago were used to test hypotheses about the evolution and importance of altruism. Both females and natal males (those born in the group) aided close relatives more than distant relatives and aided distant relatives more than non-relatives. This result is consistent with that predicted by the theory of kin selection. Female aid to non-relatives involved higher risk and greater success than female aid to relatives. This is not consistent with kin selection or with any strictly genetic explanation for altruism. Natal and non-natal males also did not conform completely to patterns suggested by strictly genetic explanations. Overall, the findings suggest that the survival value and thus evolution of interference behavior involves factors acting through both the social and genetic levels of organization. Rhesus monkeys apparently use interference as a means of establishing social bonds and ensuring group membership. For a macaque this membership is critical since the social group is the context for most behavior. Thus, an animal not well integrated might be unable to ever reach the point of mating or successfully raising offspring.
