Dr Alecia Carter and her team found that baboons form cliques just like humans (Credit: Alecia Carter)

The human tendency to gravitate towards people that are similar to them starts early. In school-age children, the behavior called homophily, or "love of the same" often has to do with how others dress or act. Adults tend to form groups based on social stature, professions or personalities. Turns out that forming cliques and shutting out those that are "different" is not just a human trait. South Africa's Chacma or Cape baboons display similar tendencies as well!

                I think that everyone should read this article because humans need to know that cliques can be harmful too.
