HAMADRYAS BABOONS3
However, while behaviorally and physically distinct from other baboon types, the Hamadryas baboon is known to hybridize with olive baboons, and recent phylogenetic studies of Papio show Hamadryas baboons to be more closely related to Guinea and olive baboons than to Chacmas (Newman et al. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
But calling them all subspecies of Papio hamadryas seems odd because Hamadryas baboons are the most distinctive baboons of all: the males have showy capes and tufted tails, and their societies have an unusual multi-level structure quite different from the usual troops of "savanna baboons. (michael-lawrence-wilson.com)
For example, Guinea baboons turn out to have a social system quite similar to that of Hamadryas baboons. (michael-lawrence-wilson.com)
