摘要: Oppositely sexed pairs of gorillas exhibit some behavior indicative higher cognitive functioning, such as individual partner preferences and varied copulatory positions, but also mate in a cyclic manner closely related to the degree female genital swelling. The latter finding is contrary predictions based on their advanced position phylogeny.
