Keeping pets seems to be fairly recent behaviour in the timeline of human evolution. Columnist Michael Marshall turns to the latest research on primates to understand how long we’ve had the impulse… #science #evolution #primates

The fact that all mammals on this planet, including ourselves, have their origin in a tiny primate or pre-primate that weighed less than 20 grams, makes me very humble.
It lived during the early Paleocene, ~66 Million years ago, probably on trees. It had appeared pretty "soon" after the big bang. This alone is a miracle.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🍌 Nine #macaques at #Singapore’s #Mandai #Wildlife Reserve spontaneously matched round #sounds to round shapes and spiky sounds to spiky shapes, echoing the classic bouba/kiki effect long seen in #humans.
The researchers trained the #monkeys to link decorated lids to #food, then played the words and tracked their choices. The team argues the effect may rest on ancient perceptual biases shared with a distant common ancestor.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🐕 Researchers at #Oxford mapped how #monkeys and #apes play with, groom, and occasionally care for other species like #dogs, #deer, and #pigs.
Curiosity and tolerance sometimes cross species lines, though rough handling led to 13 deaths. The work points to shared evolutionary roots for human pet-keeping.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🗽 Twin black-and-white ruffed #lemurs born at #CentralParkZoo in April are raising awareness for their critically #endangeredspecies.
The fraternal twins Masco and Tonga are part of a species survival plan that aims to maintain genetic #diversity in zoo populations. Curator Susan Cardillo explains how the lemurs serve as "#rainforest gardeners" through seed dispersal and pollination in their native #Madagascar.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Both #chimpanzees and #bonobos use hugs, hand-holding, and other friendly touches to prevent conflict before it starts, not just to resolve it afterward.
Researchers observed five #sanctuary groups in #Zambia and the #Congo, finding that more pre-feeding cuddles meant more peaceful sharing of limited #peanuts.
