Those experiments don't distinguish between jealousy and intolerance for injustice or unfairness from a third party.
In the capuchin studies, given that they usually express their displeasure at the experimenter rather than the other monkey and also spontaneously share it's reasonable to view it as the latter.
This whole crab bucket mentality of 'it's unfaaaiiir that minimum wages get raised' rather than fighting to get the benefit for everyone is a distinctly neoliberal and american mindset that you have to 'deserve' to survive or be comfortable.

It shouldn’t be to hard to conduct a similar study on humans, and the fact that we are only hearing about monkey studies makes me question whether the results can be generalized. It is not just that we are a different species and exhibit different behavior under same circumstances as monkeys, but also that the monkeys are kept under captivity all their lives which will profoundly alter their behavior (the same applies to humans).
