Chimps get angry, not spiteful: study

An angry chimpanzee will take revenge but - unlike a human - it will not do so out of spite, according to a new study that offers insights into how people perceive what is fair.

The study showed chimpanzees would seek retribution when wronged but did not punish others out of spite, for instance if another chimpanzee was better off, said Keith Jensen, an evolutionary biologist at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, who led the study.

The study suggests anger is an important motivational force but what causes it differs greatly between chimpanzees and humans, Jensen said.

"Humans and apes both get upset at theft but humans are more likely to get upset at unfairness," he said.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Just don't upset an elephant...

"An elephant that killed a woman in India returned to her funeral and trampled on her corpse, local police have said.

The 70-year-old woman, Maya Murmu, was attacked by the wild elephant as she walked to collect water in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, Indian news outlet The Print reported.

The elephant had strayed from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, which lies about 10 miles from the city of Jamshedpur.

After the elephant attacked Murmu, she was rushed to hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries, Lopamudra Nayak, an inspector at the Rasgovindpur police station, told The Print.

Later, as family members gathered to perform a funeral for Murmu, the wild tusker appeared once again.

It approached the pyre and grabbed the body, The Print reported. The elephant then trampled on her body again, and threw it away before fleeing...

However, McNair said these incidents rarely happen without the elephant having been provoked in someway. "These endangered elephants can be deadly dangerous, particularly when provoked or abused," he said."
