New study out lead by @sarahbrocard.bsky.social: we found that chimpanzees and humans share similar sensitivity to prosocial behaviour, suggesting that species differences in prosociality are not grounded in ability to recognise actions, but in how they act on them. @cogcompneuch.bsky.social
🚨 New paper out!
Using a touchscreen task, we explored how humans and chimpanzees perceive social interactions by comparing their responses to prosocial, neutral, and antisocial interactions.

The perception of prosocial agents by chimpanzees and humans | Royal Society Open Science
The human propensity for prosocial behaviour has no equal, not even in our closest
living relatives, the chimpanzees. However, it remains unclear whether this difference
is grounded in the sheer perce...

🧠🦍 Did you know? Like humans, chimpanzees automatically process 'who did what to whom' – a potential precursor for language.

Spontaneous Encoding of Event Roles in Hominids
ABSTRACT. When observing social interactions, humans rapidly and spontaneously encode events in terms of agents, patients and causal relations. This propensity can be made visible empirically with the...

The loss of a legend- Kanzi, the language-competent bonobo, has died age 44.
Kanzi was exceptional in so many ways and offered us profound insights into the linguistic & cognitive capacities of great apes. He has taught us so much and will be hugely missed.

Hot off the press! Is there a pre-linguistic basis for event role attribution? In our new paper out in PLoS Biology, we take a comparative eye tracking approach to explore temporal gaze distribution to agents and patients in dyadic interactions tinyurl.com/mryk7kmb
