Scientists claim that capuchin monkeys have a well-developed sense of fair play:
- “‘We showed the subjects compared their rewards with those of their partners and refused to accept a lower-value reward if their partners received a high-value reward,’ said Brosnan.
If both members of the pair did not get the same reward, the monkey that was short-changed refused to accept it or threw it away, in a reaction similar to that of humans.”
