在几种猕猴中，在成熟过程中，姐妹篇与姐妹篇的优势地位发生逆转。解释这一现象的近似假设是基于很少和不完整的数据，而且往往是单因素的。本文（1）提供了关于自由放养的恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）兄弟姐妹之间“最年轻的优势”的系统数据;（2）试图确定其最接近的基础。早期的社会影响不足以解释逆转。年长的兄弟姐妹拒绝超越，只有那些拥有强大长期支持的年幼兄弟姐妹（包括孤儿）才能成功反抗。支持者往往是近亲（如母亲和其他兄弟姐妹），对两个兄弟姐妹都占主导地位。反叛并没有发生在某个绝对年龄的年轻兄弟姐妹。它的时机部分取决于兄弟姐妹的相对大小，部分取决于弟弟妹妹对哥哥姐姐的支持程度。该研究强烈表明，逆转的发生和时间取决于预测个人战斗能力（如体型）和预测社会权力（如联盟）的因素之间的相互作用。观察到的变化的规律与“最年轻的优势”发生的讨论与这些研究结果。
In several species of Cercopithecine monkeys, younger sisters reverse dominance with older sisters during the course of maturation. Proximate hypotheses to account for the phenomenon are based on few and incomplete data, and tend to be unifactorial. This paper (1) presents systematic data on ''youngest ascendancy'' among free-ranging rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta, siblings; and (2) attempts to identify its proximate basis. Early social influences were inadequate to explain reversal. Older siblings resisted outranking, and only those younger siblings (including orphans) with powerful long-term support rebelled successfully. Supporters tended to be close relatives (such as the mother and other siblings) dominant to both siblings. Rebellion did not occur at some absolute age of the young sibling. Its timing depended partly on the relative size of siblings, and partly on the extent of support the younger sibling had against the older. The study strongly suggests that the occurrence and timing of reversal depends on an interaction between factors predictive of individual fighting ability(such as body size) and those predictive of social power (such as alliances). Observed variation in the regularity with which ''youngest ascendancy'' occurs is discussed in relation to these findings.
