社会性被认为已经演变为动物应对环境的一种策略。然而，社会性的遗传基础仍然不清楚。在这里，我们提供的证据表明，社交网络倾向在群居的灵长类动物中是可遗传的。恒河猴倾向于通过其社会伴侣调节的联系与其他人联系在一起--类似于人类朋友的朋友--显示出加性遗传差异。通过与5-羟色胺能信号有关的两个基因座上的遗传变异来预测从属倾向，尽管这一结果经不起多次测试的修正。攻击性倾向也是可遗传的，与生殖产出有关，生殖产出是一种健康指标。我们的发现表明，像人类一样，塑造多主体关系形成的技能和气质在非人类灵长类动物中具有遗传基础，因此开始填补我们对社会性遗传基础的理解空白。
Sociality is believed to have evolved as a strategy for animals to cope with their environments. Yet the genetic basis of sociality remains unclear. Here we provide evidence that social network tendencies are heritable in a gregarious primate. The tendency for rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta, to be tied affiliatively to others via connections mediated by their social partners - analogous to friends of friends in people - demonstrated additive genetic variance. Affiliative tendencies were predicted by genetic variation at two loci involved in serotonergic signalling, although this result did not withstand correction for multiple tests. Aggressive tendencies were also heritable and were related to reproductive output, a fitness proxy. Our findings suggest that, like humans, the skills and temperaments that shape the formation of multi-agent relationships have a genetic basis in nonhuman primates, and, as such, begin to fill the gaps in our understanding of the genetic basis of sociality.
