	Laura et. al.

	I am new on the net and have been catching up for weeks now.
	Please forgive the late entry, I am not trying to fan the
	flames on the topic. (Catch me on net.auto for that.)

	I was reading in Science 84 about parents killing their
	off springs. I humans it has been rationalized as stress.

	BUT !!!!!!!

	After extensive field research, it has been found that primate
	mothers, baboons I think, will kill their new borns if their
	mate dies or looses leadership of the trib so they can become
	pregnant with the new leader's off spring and accepted as one
	of the leader's mates which will bring high status in primate
	tribes.


	Very interesting!!
