Shared cognitive biases influence numerical judgments in macaques and crows
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 44, November 2025.
SignificanceCognitive biases, often seen as uniquely human flaws, may instead reflect fundamental decision-making strategies shared across species. By demonstrating that macaque monkeys and carrion crows exhibit human-like biases in numerical estimation—...

Last November, 43 rhesus macaques escaped from Alpha Genesis, one of the country’s biggest breeders of primates used in scientific experiments. Ava Kofman writes about the fraught circumstances and politics surrounding the monkey jailbreak.

A troop of macaques escaped one of the largest primate-breeding facilities in America. Now a strange coalition of uncompromising activists and MAGA loyalists is demanding that all lab animals be set f...

Reading a book on Neanderthals, I was particularly drawn to its depiction of the Eemian interglacial (marine isotope stage 5e). Warm forests, high sea levels, macaques and elephants in northern Europe. It would certainly make for an interesting Spear & Fang setting.

Octopus have been seen punching fish in the head for seemingly no reason. Dolphins and Orcas seemingly torture animals for fun, chimps are incredibly violent. Macaques will follow squirrels to find jackfruit, then slap them in the head to keep the fruit to themselves.

The rural town of Yemassee, South Carolina (population 1,080), is home to four times as many monkeys as humans. Last year, 43 rhesus macaques escaped from a breeding and research facility. Then things got political.

Several monkeys escaped after a truck carrying them overturned Tuesday on Interstate 59 near Heidelberg, Mississippi, according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department. All but one of the monkeys, identified as Rhesus macaques commonly used in medical research, was killed after the crash.

Most widely used non-human primate species for research & testing is the long-tailed #macaque. A sickening inhumane experiment in #China involved subjecting macaques to surgery to cut out an entire eye, incl eyelids, for cruel whole eye transplantation, which failed. tinyurl.com/3ythfynw

the herpes b endemic to rhesus macaques is fatal in humans if untreated, if you get bitten you are on antiretrovirals the rest of your life

Yeah, as someone who grew up in Marion county my very first thought was "what kind of herpes" because macaques can carry Herpes B that's real bad for humans.

In case you didn’t know, this is not the first time monkeys have gotten loose in Florida. There’s been a stable colony of macaques in Silver Springs since the 40s, and few remnants of a population that had been in the Titusville area (space monkeys!) are still sighted now and then.

This is in my area of expertise, but I have questions. I assume the disease risk is potential and not because they are confirmed to have these three illnesses or were deliberately infected. We just treat all macaques as if they have Herpes B because it is so serious for humans.
