A new study reported by Popular Science finds that chimpanzees are less likely to steal pineapple from individuals they have friendly relationships with, suggesting the animals apply different social rules depending on their bonds. The findings offer evidence that notions of fairness or respect toward friends may extend beyond humans among primates.
Why now: The study offers fresh evidence that chimpanzees show friend-based moral behavior, a topic of broad interest in animal cognition.
