Monkeys Enjoy Giving To Others, Study Finds

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')cienceDaily (Aug. 25, 2008) — Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have shown capuchin monkeys, just like humans, find giving to be a satisfying experience. This finding comes on the coattails of a recent imaging study in humans that documented activity in reward centers of the brain after humans gave to charity.

Yes - I think those reports focused on homo sapien sapien...this study speaks to the capuchin monkey...a bit more relaxed about life.

Drunk monkeys eat human babies


I remember one day when I was driving around south Florida. Way out in the deep bush in the middle of the state. The trail we were driving down ended at a large razor spiral chain fence. The only sign said

Do not enter. Chimpanzees will attack humans.


99% DNA match with humans. Although this guy presents an interesting argument that humans are not descended from primates

Massive Human Dieoff <b>must</b> occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where <b>you</b> live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group.
