Chimpanzees
apparently possess a sense of what is ‘fair’ that is extremely similar
to that of humans, new research has found. Not that it is very
surprising, given how extremely similar humans and other ape species
are. Previously though, the ‘expert’ consensus had been that ‘fairness’
was a uniquely human trait, though like most assumed ‘human-only’ traits
‘fairness’ has now been found to be present in species other than
humans.
It would very much surprise me
if most of the traits assumed to be innately human and separate from
other animals was the result of anything other than the cultures of
modern humans.....
