早期社会行为的出现可能对母婴关系的发展至关重要。其中一些行为，如新生儿模仿成年人面部动作的能力，以前被认为仅限于人类，也许是猿类。在这里，我们报告的行为反应的婴儿恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）以下人类面部和手部的姿态：嘴唇拍打，舌头伸出，嘴巴打开，手打开，和打开和关闭的眼睛（控制条件）。在出生后的第三天，幼年猕猴模仿嘴唇拍打和舌头伸出。在出生的第一天，模型的嘴巴张开引起了婴儿类似的匹配行为（嘴唇拍打）。这些模仿反应出现在发育的早期阶段，但它们显然局限于一个狭窄的时间窗口。因为在猕猴的面对面互动中，舔嘴唇是一个核心的姿势，新生儿的模仿可能有助于调整婴儿对社会世界的亲和反应。我们的研究结果提供了一个定量描述的新生儿模仿在非人类灵长类动物物种，并表明，这些模仿能力，与以前认为的，是不是唯一的猿和人类血统。我们认为，它们的进化起源可以追溯到亲和手势与沟通功能。这份手稿首次对非人类灵长类动物的新生儿模仿进行了定量描述，表明模仿能力并不是猿和人类谱系所独有的，这与以前的想法相反。
The emergence of social behaviors early in life is likely crucial for the development of mother–infant relationships. Some of these behaviors, such as the capacity of neonates to imitate adult facial movements, were previously thought to be limited to humans and perhaps the ape lineage. Here we report the behavioral responses of infant rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) to the following human facial and hand gestures: lip smacking, tongue protrusion, mouth opening, hand opening, and opening and closing of eyes (control condition). In the third day of life, infant macaques imitate lip smacking and tongue protrusion. On the first day of life, the model's mouth openings elicited a similar matched behavior (lip smacking) in the infants. These imitative responses are present at an early stage of development, but they are apparently confined to a narrow temporal window. Because lip smacking is a core gesture in face-to-face interactions in macaques, neonatal imitation may serve to tune infants' affiliative responses to the social world. Our findings provide a quantitative description of neonatal imitation in a nonhuman primate species and suggest that these imitative capacities, contrary to what was previously thought, are not unique to the ape and human lineage. We suggest that their evolutionary origins may be traced to affiliative gestures with communicative functions. This manuscript provides the first quantitative description of neonatal imitation in a nonhuman primate, indicating imitative capacities are not unique to the ape and human lineage, contrary to what was previously thought.
