Nice find. I found it very interesting.

Holy cow! This is very interesting. . . .especially how they will "monitor" the currency usage for sex because you know. . .you don't want to turn a "respectable" scientific lab into a monkey brothel.

I love how it shows that money really does corrupt everything wherever it is introduced, even among animals. :laugh:

''You can feed them marshmallows all day, they'll throw up and then come back for more.''

Who is feeding monkeys marshmallows until they are sick?

It doesn't trip anything on web of science and the article's comment on small brains tells me the author has about a 9th grade understanding of biology. I'm not sure what to think of it because it doesn't seem to have garnered much in the way of peer review. The inevitable masturbation from the evopsychos will be enternaining, admittedly, especially Kanazawa who cares not one whit about niceties like peer reviews, control groups and factual data.
