Like people, common marmosets live in family groups and do not mate freely with one another.
I think we're more bonobo than marmoset.
Maybe the little suckers are just smarter than we are. At least the guys, anyways.
You know, I've heard that there's a fine line between evolution and devolution.
(As in:
Q. Are We Not Men? A. We Are Marmosets!)
These monkeys were Brazilian and thus able to remain faithful to many mates concurrently. We're basically mormons, but in thongs instead of church.

A note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
