Infanticide is much more common.

In some of the lower primate forms (redtail monkey, macaques), infanticide coupled with cannibalism of the young is more common.
Ya i thought it was strange. Some form of chimps fighting off another clan. Caught one of their young and ripped it apart and ate it. I thought it was pretty strange.
