Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monkeys reared in isolation for the first 6 months of their lives often exhibit social and behavioral deficits, including being fearful or clumsy in sexual situations when introduced to opposite-sex partners in adulthood. This is due to their lack of early social interactions, which are crucial for the development of normal social and sexual behaviors.
