Final answer:
The tuberculosis outbreak had specific social consequences for the Garbage Dump Troop and the Forest Troop, as well as unaffected groups of baboons. The disease led to decreased population and differed in impact based on living conditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tuberculosis outbreak had specific social consequences for the Garbage Dump Troop and the Forest Troop of baboons, as well as for unaffected groups of baboons. In both troops, the disease led to decreased population due to mortality and weakened individuals.
However, the social consequences differed between the two troops. In the Garbage Dump Troop, which lived near an industrial city with overcrowded homes and workplaces, tuberculosis spread quickly and had a greater impact on the poor who lived in overcrowded homes lacking sunlight, which kills tuberculosis bacilli.
On the other hand, the Forest Troop, which lived in a forest area, also experienced the consequences of the outbreak, but it would have had similar effects as in other parts of the world. The disease would have destroyed a large portion of the population living in densely populated settlements, resulting in their abandonment.
