You may be thinking, "What is that hairy little beast to the left? Is it part rat, part cat, part monkey?" It happens to be a marmoset, an itty - but not bitty - monkey that calls South America home. The male marmosets usually have babies that carry their brother's genes (by brother, I mean the dad's brother). That's because almost all female marmosets give birth to fraternal twins, and in the womb, the twins somehow swap cells. Hence, over half of the male monkeys walk around with their brother's love juice. That's like having my boyfriend conceive a baby with me yet the baby turns out to be his brother's. How horrible. Then I start to think, does that mean that women can get away with sleeping with two brothers and having one of their babies without getting caught? Or that if you want your baby to take on your traits, your brother would have to sleep with your babymomma? And even then, you're not guaranteed that the baby would look like you because your brother may not carry your genes. Being a monkey isn't that easy after all.
