What the Monkeys Can Teach Humans About Making America Fairer
By ADAM COHEN
Give a capuchin monkey a cucumber slice, and she will eagerly trade a small pebble for it. But when a second monkey, in an adjoining cage, receives a more-desirable grape for the same pebble, it changes everything. The first monkey will then reject her cucumber, and sometimes throw it out of the cage. Monkeys rarely refuse food, but in this case they appear to be pursuing an even higher value than eating: fairness.
The capuchin monkey study, published last week in Nature, has generated a lot of interest for a scant three-page report buried in the journal's letters section. There is, certainly, a risk of reading too much into the feeding habits of 10 research monkeys. But in a week when fairness was so evidently on the ropes — from the World Trade Organization meeting in Cancún, which poor nations walked out of in frustration, to the latest issue of Forbes, reporting that the richest 400 Americans are worth $955 billion — the capuchin monkeys offered a glimmer of hope from the primate gene pool.
The study's implication that we are, to some extent, hard-wired for fairness speaks with special force to the legal system. American law has undergone a transformation in recent years, led by conservative Supreme Court justices and scholars, away from a focus on broad principles of fairness and toward a willingness to subject people to treatment that might be unjust, on the grounds that it is legal. The monkey study suggests, however, that fairness might be more than a currently unfashionable legal concept. It may be integral to who we are.

For your convenience in planning trips, we have divided this section into four sub-sections. San Juan covers the Greater San Juan Metropolitan Area. Many of the attractions in this section are available by bus or taxi from Old San Juan, Condado or Isla Verde. Most tourists stay at one of the three above sectors. East includes all major tourist spots east of San Juan , including the neighboring island municipalities of Vieques and Culebra You need to drive to these locations or take tours which are advertised at most hotels and resorts. West includes anything west of San Juan . You need to drive to some of these locations, while guided tours are available for others. South includes tourist attractions in Ponce and the remainder of the southern portion of the Island. Attractions within the Greater San Juan Metropolitan Area
  • - A passive park located near the geographical center of the San Juan Metropolitan Area, across from the Roberto Clemente Coliseum and near Plaza Las Americas Shopping Center. You may park at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum at hourly rates and take an elevated car ride into the park.
  • - Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. You will find it hard to believe that you are minutes away from highways and the hustle-bustle of daily life. This large passive park includes many of the botanical species in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Bronze plaques provide information on most species. Benches and restrooms are strategically located around the park. Bring a picnic lunch and your own bottled water. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. And bring your camera. Parking is available at the entrance. Facilities for the handicapped are minimal. Reservations can be made for guided tours and group tours. Call (787)-767-1710 for details.

    Common clinical problems
    In general, the most common health problems encountered in a nonhuman primate colony involve bacterial enteritis, bacterial pneumonia, and traumatic injuries. The clinical conditions presented are categorized as viral, bacterial, parasitic, reproductive, or miscellaneous. Where appropriate, a brief discussion of the etiology, clinical signs, diagnostic procedures, and treatment recommendations are included. A preventive health program, as well as good husbandry and sanitation practices, will limit the occurrence of many of the clinical conditions described.

    GrASP
    Time is running out for the world's Great Ape populations. Gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobo populations are struggling to survive.
    The Great Ape Survival Programme (Grasp) is a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) project, launched in 2001. This was established in response to the knowledge that all the Great Apes are endangered with the exception of humans.
    An emergency preliminary meeting took place in December in Paris with representatives from many of the countries that have Great Ape populations. SOS were represented by the UK-based Ape Alliance - an alliance of many ape-related organisations. Grasp has become very active and more information can be found on their website

JM: According to Senapathy, they probably did. If there are unique genes in either genome, then he would say that they must have. Keith: Yet chimps and humans show a number of key differences which must be genetic, and are quite extreme. For example, chimpanzee females develop a large swelling on their buttocks during reproductive heat. Where did those novel genes/pathways come from? Are you going to claim that is "normal" variation? JM: The Senapathy test is: are there unique body parts or organs (and thus unique genes)? If so, they are independent organisms.

It gave what I presume was Gonazlez' City Hall phone number with a "554" prefix and suggested we call him and tell him to give it back.
