Ce-i rau cu asta ? E o chestie de mobilitate sociala cu care ne place
sa ne laudam in USA ;-) Hehehe, te ingrozesti la multimea de Hitleri /

Chimps indifferent to others' welfare
Bruce Bower

Even if they have nothing to lose, chimpanzees opt not to help
strangers, according to a team that studied unrelated chimps at two
research facilities.

The new findings complement earlier studies indicating that chimps
cooperate mainly with close relatives and partners in tit-for-tat
exchanges, say Joan B. Silk of the University of California, Los
Angeles and her colleagues. Even if chimps, like some monkeys detest
getting a lesser reward from experimenters than other chimps do, they
show no desire to spread their own wealth with unrelated chimps, the
scientists report in the Oct. 27 Nature.

They studied 18 adult chimps, 7 housed together at a Louisiana site and
11 living at a Texas center. Individual chimps first visited testing
areas at the two facilities, where they learned to deliver food either
to their own tray and that of another animal by, say, pulling a rope,
or only to their own tray by, say, pulling a hose.

When put in pairs, individual chimps given the chance to get food
showed no special altruistic bent, distributing a goodie to their
comrades only about half the time in a series of trials. The same
chimps put food in the other tray-which they had no access to-just
as often when they were alone.
