In many ways we are not too
different from animals of a lower mentality. Here is an example of what you
might expect “Occupy Wall Street” would look like in monkeys.
“Frans de Waal is a
Dutch primatologist whose research centers on primate social behavior.
Here, he conducts an
experiment with two Capuchin monkeys, who are trained to do a simple task for
different rewards. One receives a bland slice of cucumber and the other receives
a sweet grape.
The recipient of the
cucumber begins to rebel at this inequality and Dr. de Waal jokes, "This is
basically the [Occupy] Wall Street protest that you see
here."”
