I am wondering if this experiment is still in progress. Would love to see how they behave now. May be they would start developing tools and such...

I would like to see the actual article published on this =)

Awesome video! What an amazing insight into the behavior of monkeys. I wonder if their behavior reflects that their basic needs were being met with the money they had, so they were ready to fulfill their wants with what they had left over. In monkeydom, and maybe even in our thinking, sex is only one step above food in our hierarchy of needs.

Obviously, since this video isn't about sex, the low viewer count for such an interesting and informative study proves that we, indeed, are descended from apes. At least we've gotten that out of the way.
