[[Vervet monkey]]s utilise [[allomothering]], parenting by group members other than the actual mother or father, where the allomother is typically an older female sibling or a grandmother. Individuals act aggressively toward other individuals that were aggressive toward their relatives. The behaviour implies kin selection between siblings, between mothers and offspring, and between grandparents and grandchildren.<ref name="sibships">{{cite journal |last=Lee |first=P.
