Primate Economics!

In a comment to an earlier post, [livejournal.com profile] a_priori mentioned Laurie Santos, who is researching how monkeys and lemurs think. I couldn't resist sharing with y'all this Popular Science article, which tells about her findings that the monkeys are often irrational (in an economic, decision-making sense) in the same way that we are.
