Monkeys do not like it when others get more food they do, according to a new study.
Researchers from Yale and Harvard universities found Capuchin monkeys punish monkeys get more food. "This sort of, 'If I can't have it, no one can' response is because psychological spite (怨恨), and it was (previous) thought unique to humans," said Kristin Leimgruber of Harvard University. She is a co-author of the research study. The researchers watched as some Capuchin monkeys (give) more food than others. They found that monkeys getting the (small) share pulled a rope to fold up a table holding the other monkey's bigger share.
Another lead researcher, Laurie Santas, (explain) over email, "I think what we can conclude about humans is that some of our more embarrassing tendencies have relatively deep (root)." Santos said the spiteful response was not present with another member of the ape species—chimpanzees(黑猩猩).
An earlier study, she said, showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees (steal) food from them. But they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened (have) more food, Santos said. In other words, it was fine if another chimpanzee had more food as long as they did not steal it.
