New scientific study shows monkeys have more morality than shrub

Monkeys exhibit
sense of fair play

They go on strike if they see
a raw deal, scientists say


Sept. 17 — Humans aren’t the only ones who hate a bum deal, it turns out. In a recent study, brown capuchin monkeys trained to exchange a granite token for a cucumber treat often refused the swap if they saw another monkey get a better payoff — a grape. Instead, they often threw the token, refused to eat the piece of cucumber, or even gave it to the other capuchin after viewing the lopsided deal, said Emory University researcher Sarah Brosnan.
