Abstract

HIRATA, Satoshi. Social intelligence in chimpanzees: a quest for the origin of human mind. Etnográfica [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.3, pp.645-647. ISSN 0873-6561.

This paper presents experiments conducted by Cláudia Sousa on the use of “tokens” by chimpanzees at Kyoto’s Primate Research Institute, Japan. This research gave us a better understanding of chimpanzee cognition in a social context, informing research into prosociality and cooperation.

Keywords : chimpanzees; social intelligence; cognition; cooperation.
