This Cool Video was posted on YouTube by Nahiddanish. In a little more than four minutes it shows two exercises with monkeys. The first shows elements of trust and cooperation. The second appears to show a sense of justice, fairness and/or maybe greed. When watching animal behavior there is always the risk of anthropomorphizing and projecting our thoughts and ideas. While we can watch the actions, we do not know what they are thinking. Still,the actions do seem recognizable and understandable. Perhaps even if we do not learn much about monkeys, we can learn about ourselves.
