Altruism in Chimpanzees

Ed Yong has a nice post up on altruistic behaviour in chimps.

It is also worth it to check out some of his previous posts, such as:

Chimps console each other to reduce stress after fights

Cultured chimps pass on new traditions between groups

About Me

My photo
Michael Pleyer
Mannheim, Germany
I am a PhD Student at the Department of English at Heidelberg University. My dissertation project deals with perspective in language and cognition.I am mostly interested in language evolution, language acquistion, language & cognition, cognitive development, especially the development of perspective-taking and -setting abilities, as well as the philosophical implications of... well pretty much everything.
