Abstract
⺠Precisely how social preferences develop across ontogeny is largely unknown for free-living animals. ⺠Affiliative exchanges of yellow-bellied marmots increased in symmetry across each successive life history stage. ⺠Nepotism emerged within cohorts of pups and persisted into adulthood. ⺠Close kin also exchanged the highest rates of agonistic interactions. ⺠Conflict and cooperation among kin emerges early and endures throughout ontogeny.
