Social intelligence based on linear dominance rank

By chasing B, A was not trying to support the lowest-ranked C, nor trying to intervene in the conflict between B and C. The reason for the intervention is that A feels a risk of losing the higher rank if A tolerates B’s expression of dominance to C in front of A.

In this way, each individual behaves in a selfish manner, recognizing the dominance rank relationships between oneself and others, and also among the others. This is the social intelligence of Japanese macaques.
