Among non-human primates, the great apes and small marmosets living in South America occasionally share food among themselves. Interestingly, in species in which food sharing is seen between adults, the adults also give food to weaned infants and juveniles. In other words, it is thought that food sharing first appeared in adults caring for infants and juveniles, and that it then spread to sharing among adults.
