I believe this bonobo study is considered salient precisely because it is trying to be an analogue to studies of humans that have found the opposite result.
- fjfaase 9y agoThis is a study of preverbal infants. Maybe infants do also discriminate between dominant and less dominant individuals, but at their age, being very care dependent, have a much stronger preference for kind individuals. Maybe infant bonobo's react in the same manner. I am also getting the impression that with adult humans dominance often plays a strong role over kindness.
