Like humans, chimps too can spot unfairness

London, Apr 13 (ANI): Like humans, chimps too can recognise unfairness, even when individuals other than themselves are in the picture, say scientists.

 

To reach the conclusion, Sarah Brosnan, a primate behaviourist at Georgia State University in Atlanta, and her colleagues trained captive chimps to exchange tokens for a food reward.

 

They then tested how same-sex pairs of chimps reacted to various levels of reward, reports New Scientist.

 

Expectedly, chimps were more likely to reject a boring carrot when their partner got a yummy grape for the same token.

 

The chimps were also more likely to reject a grape if their partner only got a carrot, scientists pointed out.

 

The study has been published in Animal Behaviour. (ANI)
