Monkeys Pay to See Female Monkey Bottoms

Would you pay to see a monkey's backside? I hope not. Monkeys will,
and I guess that's okay, though it sounds awfully close to the sort of
thing that lands guys in jail here in the human realm.
A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards
in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms. The way the
experiment was set up, the act is akin to paying for the images, the
researchers say.
The rhesus macaque monkeys also splurged on photos of top-dog
counterparts, the high-ranking primates. Maybe that's like you or me
buying People magazine.
The research, which will be detailed in the March issue of Current
Biology, gets more interesting.
The scientists actually had to pay these guys, in the form of extra
juice, to get them to look at images of lower-ranking monkeys.
Curiously, the monkeys in the test hadn't had any direct physical
contact with the monkeys in the photos, so they didn't have personal
experience with who was hot and who was not.
"So, somehow, they are getting this information by observation -- by
seeing other individuals interact," said Michael Platt of the Duke
University Medical Center.
Next, Platt and his colleagues want to see how people will perform in
a similar experiment.
"At the moment, it's only a tantalizing possibility, but we believe
that similar processes are at work in these monkeys and in people,"
Platt said. "After all, the same kinds of social conditions have been
important in primate evolution for both nonhuman primates and humans.
So, in further experiments, we also want to try to establish in the
same way how people attribute value to acquiring visual information
about other individuals."
The study, announced Friday, is far from monkey business. It was
sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health and the Cure
Autism Now Foundation. The goal is to learn more about the social
machinery of the brain with an eye toward helping autism patients.
"One of the main problems in people with autism is that they don't
find it very motivating to look at other individuals," Platt said.
"And even when they do, they can't seem to assess information about
that individual's importance, intentions or expressions."
The monkeys provide "an excellent model for how social motivation for
looking is processed in normal individuals," Platt said. "And, it's a
model that we can use to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms of
those motivations in a way we can't do in humans. For example, we can
use drugs that affect specific neural processes to explore whether we
can mimic some of the deficits found in autism in these animals."

Off topic and anally oriented, your usual standard. So, how
is this relevant?

I expect you can find that for free, on the Net.
I guess the monkeys aren't wired yet.

Should be a growth market then.

Luck is part of it. Being able to respond and immortalize those moments
well takes some talent I'm told. But I like the way you caught the light in
the palm reading and the wide lit space behing the gorilla that was
inspecting the crack in the rock.

Sure. It's one of those "one of these days when I'm rich enough to buy
friends and family a custom made motorcycle things".
Keep up the good work. You've got

Like a lot of things it works better when it's fun.
