And do they live in a normal population. That might screw up their responses as well. They are quite good in scrambling those so called normal responsed in their brain, the pre programmed stuff, as well. Just as we humans do once we know we are being manipulated. They are being babied, those monkeys. No adult is interested anymore in this type of manipulation, let alone a few. Lots of people, and monkeys, are already out of this stuff before they are adult.. Selfrespect is in all living creatures. These researchers dont study the full being of animals (nor humans in other studies), but plainly the body response in its most primitive form. Which is not reality. It's patronizing. In this case they are under control of human beings and that makes a difference .. it’s not all free choice of those monkeys.
