Here, a remark by DeVore regarding the relationship between crowding and the killing of infants would forever change her life.

Trivers provided Hrdy with an introduction to a newly emerging outlook on the social world - that of sociobiology - which crystallized at Harvard during the early 1970s and shaped Hrdy's perspective on primatology in an enduring manner.
