Monkey Money
Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner have a new column titled Freakonomics (after their book) in the New York Times. The inaugural column addresses research showing that monkeys can not only use money, but make rational choices in ways strikingly similar to humans. All the relevant stuff is linked on their site. Part of the Times story is funnier than it should be: “To this end, Chen has taken steps to ensure that future monkey sex at Yale occurs as nature intended it.”
