The result? The monkeys used their newfound currency to buy sex.<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">...Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of money, after all, is its fungibility, the fact that it can be used to buy not just food but anything. During the chaos in the monkey cage, Chen saw something out of the corner of his eye that he would later try to play down but in his heart of hearts he knew to be true. What he witnessed was probably the first observed exchange of money for sex in the history of monkeykind. (Further proof that the monkeys truly understood money: the monkey who was paid for sex immediately traded the token in for a grape.)</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">This is a sensitive subject. The capuchin lab at Yale has been built and maintained to make the monkeys as comfortable as possible, and especially to allow them to carry on in a natural state. The introduction of money was tricky enough; it wouldn't reflect well on anyone involved if the money turned the lab into a brothel. To this end, Chen has taken steps to ensure that future monkey sex at Yale occurs as nature intended it. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">But these facts remain: When taught to use money, a group of capuchin monkeys responded quite rationally to simple incentives; responded irrationally to risky gambles; failed to save; stole when they could; used money for food and, on occasion, sex. In other words, they behaved a good bit like the creature that most of Chen's more traditional colleagues study: Homo sapiens.</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Fonte: nytimes.com</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Angel DeVal</div><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.angeldeval.com" target="_blank">www.AngelDeVal.com</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7465116795598338771-4445182901001130132?l=areainsolita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Angel DeValhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538584114259407502noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465116795598338771.post-37868696674108746122008-08-19T17:23:00.004+01:002009-08-05T23:02:53.231+01:00<p>Ontem, hoje, e por muitos anos...</p><p><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUGEuZseSHw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mUGEuZseSHw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.angeldeval.com" target="_blank">www.AngelDeVal.com</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7465116795598338771-3786869667410874612?l=areainsolita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Angel DeValhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538584114259407502noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465116795598338771.post-82297950076810288412008-06-13T00:54:00.011+01:002009-01-17T00:52:33.612Z<div align="justify">Impressionantes são aquelas coisas que estão mesmo a nossa frente e que passam por nós desapercebidas.<br />A causa de certas reacções do nosso corpo e o que as originam normalmente são por nós desconhecidas.

O que no início começou muito provavelmente por ser “de boca em boca”, tem tido nas últimas décadas maior relevância nos Media (séries, filmes, documentais) e na Internet (e-mails, forums), passando esta última a ser considerada actualmente como a principal fonte de difusão.<br /></span><br /></div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><div align="justify"><br />Entre algum dos Mitos Urbanos mais conhecidos temos: <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ImJ447W1kEc/R-1rj4ZOu5I/AAAAAAAAACg/APlrIbEyb0Q/s1600-h/ouija0qv.jpg"></a><br /><br />-A menina da curva<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ImJ447W1kEc/R-1sP4ZOu7I/AAAAAAAAACw/cD1QkKC-OMg/s1600-h/ouija0qv.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182917766265355186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ImJ447W1kEc/R-1sP4ZOu7I/AAAAAAAAACw/cD1QkKC-OMg/s200/ouija0qv.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />-O passageiro desaparecido<br /><br />-Consequências nefastas do jogo do copo<br /><br />-O e-mail de título “WTC Survivor”<br /><br />-A viatura fantasma dos máximos ligados<br /><br />-Entre outros<br /><br /><br />Mas a pergunta é… Será isto tudo produto duma imaginação fértil? Um acontecimento real distorcido? Ou um alerta que é melhor não esquecermos…?<br />Provavelmente ninguém sabe, nem saberá… Por minha parte, não darei boleia a desconhecidos durante a noite…<br /><br /><br />Angel DeVal</span></div><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.angeldeval.com" target="_blank">www.AngelDeVal.com</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7465116795598338771-6110199040452289852?l=areainsolita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Angel DeValhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538584114259407502noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465116795598338771.post-66554156397175412092008-03-28T16:31:00.002Z2009-08-05T23:05:47.342+01:00<span style="font-family:times new roman;">E finalmente o meu blog no ar!<br /><br />Espero que este blog desperte a curiosidade de todos os visitantes e seja do vosso agrado.
