SOCIAL FACIAL MASK. “Overall, these qualitative case studies add to the growing body of evidence that primate mimetic musculature form and evolution are adaptive to social, communicative pressures. We know that mimetic musculature in extant species is adaptive to social variables (such as group size and dominance ‘style’), but future studies may be able to extrapolate our current knowledge to taxa represented only in the fossil record.”
