涉及配对和两个成年群体的社会组织在哺乳动物中很少见。当前的社会生物学理论表明，这种分组和行为模式有些反常。长臂猿（长臂猿属）是唯一表现出配对关系和两个成年群体的类人猿。在本文中，我概述了一夫一妻制和配对理论的当前问题，并回顾了与长臂猿社会组织相关的传统概念和积累的数据。还考虑了类人猿行为系统发育和全人群研究的重要性。最近的研究结果表明，成对结对和两个成年群体在长臂猿中并不普遍存在。长臂猿行为和生态的许多方面不符合两个成年群体和/或配对模式应该进化的条件预期。对长臂猿长期和短期研究提供的信息的回顾提出了看待其社会生态学的另一种方式。我认为长臂猿目前存在于不同的群落中，这些群落是通过生态压力和来自祖先的多雄性/多雌性分组模式的特定行为模式而产生的。这种社会组织的最佳特征并不是“一夫一妻制”。这篇评论还表明，类人猿的分组模式可以被视为沿着连续体发生，而不是离散的不同单位。
Social organization involving pair bonding and two-adult groups is rare in mammals. Current sociobiological theory suggests that this grouping and behavior pattern is somewhat anomalous. The gibbons (genus Hylobates) are the only hominoids to exhibit pair bonds and two-adult groups. In this article I present an overview of the current issues in monogamy and pair-bond theory, and review traditional conceptualizations and the accumulated data relevant to gibbon social organization. The significance of hominoid behavioral phylogeny and population-wide studies is also considered. Recent findings indicate that pair-bonding and two-adult groups are not ubiquitous among the hylobatids. Many aspects of gibbon behavior and ecology do not conform to expectations of the conditions under which two-adult groups and/or pair-bonding patterns should evolve. A review of the information available from long-term and short-term studies of gibbons suggests an alternative way of viewing their socioecology. I propose that gibbons currently exist in variable communities that have arisen via ecological pressures and specific behavioral patterns from an ancestral multimale/multi-female grouping pattern. This social organization is not best characterized as "monogamous." This review also suggests that hominoid grouping patterns can be viewed as occurring along a continuum rather than as being discretely different units.
