When one monkey receives a more desirable reward

When one monkey receives a more desirable reward

In a lab. experiment, two monkeys are each required to complete a simple task to receive a reward.

Watch what happens when the other monkey receives a different, more desirable reward.

Aaaaaaw.

Wow.

The lengths which human scientists will go to, to torment helpless creatures. Wink

I saw this as part of a story on PBS Newshour this today [SBS1].

Why post this on the Philosophy board ?

It just goes to show ya, even 'dumb animals' know the difference between right and wrong.
....just sayin'.

mike,

I'm happy for you to believe, whatever you want to believe, whatever you 'must' believe.

For me, it is a 'young earth'.

I know i'm not standing among, the 'majority'.

Guess what ?

I feel very, very comfortable, standing where i do.

You are a Wise Person.
Cool

Yadda: That was the funniest clip I have seen a very long time. The speaker lulled me into a state of 'serious science'. Grin

You know, I'm with Miketrees. Darwin would have loved to have seen that clip. It shows how 'Human' the Monkeys are and how we can laugh at ourselves. Wink

AIMLESS EXTENTION OF KNOWLEDGE HOWEVER, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK YOU REALLY MEAN BY THE TERM 'CURIOSITY', IS MERELY INEFFICIENCY. I AM DESIGNED TO AVOID INEFFICIENCY.
