在早期的记载中，狒狒[Papio anubis]被描述为在开阔的田野上移动时总是采取特定的队形。这种运动模式是社会组织模式的一个组成部分，在这种模式中，行为是对捕食者压力的反应。该模型被用于描述从森林迁移到大草原的早期原始人种群。在对肯尼亚自由放养的狒狒进行的为期一年的研究中，没有观察到这种特殊的形状，在最初的描述之后，其他现场工作人员也没有报告过这种形状。狒狒社会组织的早期模型至少有一个方面缺乏经验支持，这个模型不应该不加批判地用于重建早期人类群体的行为。
In early accounts, baboons [Papio anubis] were described as invariably assuming a particular troop formation when moving across open country. This movement pattern was an integral part of a model of social organization in which behavior was a response to predator pressure. The model was applied to describe populations of early hominids moving onto the savannah from the forest. The special formation was not observed during a year''s study of free-ranging baboons in Kenya, nor was it reported by other field workers since its original description. At least 1 aspect of an early model of baboon social organization lacked empirical support and this model should not be used uncritically in reconstructing the behavior of early human groups.
