Dear monkey people,For my PhD, I am studying - amongst others - the evolutionary basis of 'art' (i.e. the production and perception of visual symbols). I came across some interesting articles to which I unfortunately have no access. I wondered whether someone of you has, and would be so incredibly kind to fetch them for me. I can only give my forever gratitude in return and will treat you on a coffee if you happen to be in Utrecht, The Netherlands. ;)The articles are: - Waal, F. B. de, & Preston, S. D. (2017). Mammalian empathy: Behavioural manifestations and neural basis. Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 18(8): 498.- Whiten, A. (2005). The second inheritance system of chimpanzees and humans. Nature 437: 52-55.- Gumert, M. D., Kluck, M., & Malaivijitnond, S. (2009). The physical characteristics and usage patterns of stone axe and pounding hammers used by long-tailed macaques in the Andaman sea region of Thailand. American Journal of Primatology 71: 594–608.Also, if this is not the place to request articles (I recall there was a section in the Yahoo group when I studied the MSc), please tell me. I can imagine this forum should not be turned into a request-for-articles section. Many thanks in advance.Best wishes,BrendaPS. If you have any interesting thoughts or observations you would like to share, related to tool use, empathy, theory of mind and shared intentionality, I would be delighted to hear them!
