In human societies, ritualized greeting behavior includes gestural and vocal
displays to signal the social acceptance of an encountering person. These
displays are universal across cultures suggesting a pre-human origin. Vocal
greeting displays are only reported for monkeys and apes with complex social
systems, but none of these studies confirmed that greeting signals fulfill all
criteria characterizing human greeting behavior. In this study, we analyzed for
the first time whether vocal exchanges between mother and infants in a non-human
primate fulfill the criteria of human greeting behavior and whether vocal
greeting behavior is present in a basal primate with a less complex social
system, the gray mouse lemur. By comparing spontaneous leave-takings and
reunions, we found that vocal exchanges during mother-infant reunions fulfilled
all six criteria characterizing human greeting behavior. Thus, predictable
reciprocal vocal exchanges occurred at the start of the reunion (but not during
leave-taking), when mother and infant had visual contact to each other. Thus, we
argued that mother-infant vocal exchanges governing reunions are essential to
establish social bonds and to ritualize the greeting function. Our findings
suggest that ritualized vocal greeting has its origins deeply rooted in mammalian
phylogeny and derives from vocal exchanges during parent-infant reunions.
