But that was because humans were watching you. I imagine it would be notably less stressful if you were being watched by an increasingly large population of chimpanzees instead of people.
Personally I imagine that the larger that group of chimpanzees got, the more relaxed I would feel. Just think about solving a problem in a room with 1,000 chimpanzees just chilling out and watching without a single other human in the room.
Likewise I suspect chimpanzees would perform different if watched other chimpanzees.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoThis ignores something pretty obvious. Obviously a chimpanze recognizes humans as something like itself, and that the humans opinions matter. At the very least a chimp knows that the humans totally control it's life. You have a very different understanding of the relationship between yourself and any group of chimps.
