  The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys,like humans,are guided by social emotions.In the wild,they are a cooperative,group-living species.Such cooperation islikely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation,it seems,are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However,whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans,or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago,is,as yet,an unanswered question.

  参考答案:

  研究人员暗示,和人类一样,僧帽猴也受社会性情感的支配。在野外,它们是协作、群居的物种。只有在每个动物都觉得它没有受到欺骗时,这种协作才有可能稳定。如此看来,正当的愤怒感并非人类所特有的。完全拒绝较小的奖励使得群体的其它成员非常清楚这些情感。不过,到现在为止,这种公平意识是否在僧帽猴世界和人类社会独立演化,还是源于3500万年前他们的共同祖先,这仍然是一个“悬而未解”的问题。
