识别亲缘关系，从而根据遗传关系在行为上区分同类物种的能力，对于获得包容性健康益处和实现最佳近亲繁殖都是重要的。在灵长类动物中，允许识别父系亲属的机制特别令人感兴趣，因为在这些交配系统中，父系信息不太可能通过社会熟悉度获得。人类使用基于面部特征的视觉表型匹配来识别自己和他人的近亲，最近的研究表明，其他物种也可能具有类似的能力。然而，目前尚不清楚相对于野外通常在Demes中发现的亲属关系的背景水平，家族相似性在多大程度上仍然可以被检测到--如果面部线索要在自然条件下在亲属识别中发挥作用，这是一个必要条件。在这里，我们通过实验研究了猕猴(Macaca Mulatta)的面部是否存在亲子关系，这些面部来自更能代表后一种情况的大量自由放养群体，其中遗传关系已经从通过分子标记确定的家系中得到了很好的量化。我们使用人类视觉系统作为一种同时整合多种类型面部线索的手段，并证明了即使是人类观察者也可以检测到父性和母性与儿子和女儿的相似之处。专家的表现比那些之前没有处理非人类灵长类动物经验的参与者表现得更好。然而，即使是天真的个体也成功地完成了这项任务，这一发现突显了面部表型暗示的力量。
The ability to recognize kin and thus behaviourally discriminate between conspecifics based on genetic relatedness is of importance both in acquiring inclusive fitness benefits and to enable optimal inbreeding. In primates, mechanisms allowing recognition of paternal relatives are of particular interest, given that in these mating systems patrilineal information is unlikely to be available via social familiarity. Humans use visual phenotype matching based on facial features to identify their own and other's close relatives, and recent studies suggest similar abilities may be present in other species. However it is unclear to what extent familial resemblances remain detectable against the background levels of relatedness typically found within demes in the wild – a necessary condition if facial cues are to function in kin recognition under natural conditions. Here, we experimentally investigate whether parent-offspring relationships are discernible in rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) faces drawn from a large free-ranging population more representative of the latter scenario, and in which genetic relatedness has been well quantified from pedigrees determined via molecular markers. We used the human visual system as a means of integrating multiple types of facial cue simultaneously, and demonstrate that paternal, as well as maternal, resemblance to both sons and daughters can be detected even by human observers. Experts performed better than participants who lacked previous experience working with nonhuman primates. However the finding that even naïve individuals succeeded at the task underlines the strength of the phenotypic cues present in faces.
