Now the latest research suggests that similar rules apply to the wild chacmababoons of Namibia; it turns out that the best leaders are the most sociable types with lots of friends.
A European team of scientists found that when one baboon sets an example by moving off in search of breakfast, the others follow. But these movements are far from random. Instead, they appear to follow a clearly-defined rule; baboons that are central in the grooming network have the best chance of being followed.
