As I recall it was not just sexy photos. I believe they also went for photos of "high status" monkeys as well. The roots of porn, gossip, and celebrity worship run deep in the human psyche.

Not their butts, just regular photos of lower-status monkey faces. In contrast they would pay sugar-water to view photos of the faces of high-status monkeys in their group.
How does that even work? Do scientists go around distributing money to the monkeys to look at butts.... How do they even understand they are getting paid to look at butts
They trained them to understand money as a token of value they can exchange for food.
They are certain the monkey figured it out because they wouldn't fall for surge prizing (if you only get a cucumber but got grapes before, they save their money). I'm not sure what the story actually was, but afair the female monkeys started trading sex for money without external influences.
You don’t think some apes in the Congo 10,000 years ago maybe traded some sex for food once in a while? Certainly has happened on the timeline somewhere
Now I’m just thinking of the person who took the photos. There had to have been some head scientist somewhere who first went, “Alright you guys, look.. I’ve got this idea for a study. You see all those sexy monkeys over there?”
And some hungover grad student in the background pops up, “Excuse me, what?”
And, then it just sort of evolved from there.
I'm currently reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. There's a scene right at the beginning where the main character is brought to this ultra high tech scientific utopian facility thing, where everything is shiny and neat and all the Nobel prize winners play disc golf and shit. As a neuroscience major I quickly realised that Dan Brown had never met an actual scientist in his life.
You, though? You know how scientists work!

It's not a utopian place. It's a real place.
They literally take him to [CERN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN)
No, but you're correct in that's how they started, with photos of the alpha male macaque, then photos of similar looking ones
There are patterns of fur colouration we can distinguish, and _possibly_ grooming patterns that we can't, that indicate monkey status
Interestingly, bite marks _raised_ the status of already-high status males, and _lowered_ it for low status ones
It's a truly fascinating study, combining teaching monkeys abstract concepts (money exchanged for goods), then learning they appreciate fairness (one monkey got two grapes for a coin every time, other monkeys got one. Males attacked him, females treated the 'lucky' monkey as higher status), false advertising (if the monkeys found coins only got cucumber, they just hoarded their coins, but if they got cucumber _when there was a picture of grapes_ they got angry) and prostitution (females would have sex with lower status males in return for coins)
If you can get access to the entire study, it's well worth the time to read it
Brains are so fascinating. We’re so fucked up!
I’m sure people react differently to scars based on status in our society. Generations of German officers had dueling scars and those were a sign of status.
But if your plumber turned up with a scarred face that would probably elicit a different reaction.
Likewise with tattos.
Among sailors, it's a sign of allegiance to the seafaring world.
In Japan, it's only used by criminals.
> I’m sure people react differently to scars based on status in our society. Generations of German officers had dueling scars and those were a sign of status.
And *mensur* is still a thing in Germanic countries.
> Interestingly, bite marks raised the status of already-high status males, and lowered it for low status ones
Make sense.
Marked high status males have shown that they were ready to defend by force their position while marked low status males have shown that they were further humiliated.
Doesn't that imply assumptions by the female? That the high status male was _not_ humiliated in a fight they didn't see?
I don't know, I'm no animal psychologist, but I find this study opens up a treasure trove of deeper questions
> Interestingly, bite marks raised the status of already-high status males, and lowered it for low status ones
Doesn't sound interesting at all. If 80s Mike Tyson walked in with bruises on his face I would assume he just beat some ass and is looking for more ass to beat. If Mr. Bean walked in with bruises I would assume he just got his ass beat and is looking for a hug. Scars are bad ass on already bad ass dudes. They're just a sign of victimization on the perceived weak.
Words like 'hardwired' are very difficult with intelligent test subjects
We just don't know how much is instinctive (what most people mean when theyvsay hardwired) how much is behavioural learning and how much is, for want of a better word, cultural
As an example, read up about the monkey/ladder/spray experiments
OP, you brought it on yourself!
As an aside, I haven't laughed out loud at a thread more than this one in a very long time. The comments here are gold. Thanks for posting.
I'd just come from that thread about things you thought would never happen to you. With the guy (or gal) who had gotten bitten by a snake falling out of a tree. And a lot of other sad, weird stuff. There were a few bright spots, but enough sad things that I really needed a palate cleanser.
Have a good weekend!
> With the guy (or gal) who had gotten bitten by a snake falling out of a tree.
That is odd. I once fell out of a tree and a rooster pecked the shit outta my back. That's what I get for trying to read up in the tree.
Have a good one!
Monkey sitting at the pool with a glass of scotch on the table, holding a cigar with his grilled teeth and a couple of goldchains around his neck.
Obviously
My guess is its probably to do with the fut coloration and appearence. Lions can be distinguished by their manes telling of their age, health, and combat experience.
Monkeys probably have something similar
Worth asking if they need the food.
If I were trapped by a more intelligent species, but feed every day anyhow, how much value does that food really have?
I wouldn't buy pornography, but that's because I actually have to work for the money, and I have access to it for free.

Pssshh bonobos are out there giving out sex for literally any reason. Happy? Sex. Conflict? Sex. Friendship? Sex. They don’t need coins to symbolize anything lmao.
For example: human evolution
Is a subject that makes me want to shoot a huge hadouken
Like when an atheist is all debating a creationist
On evolution making mad mistakes as they're explaining it
Like, people think that evolution happens on a scale
And that a human's more evolved and therefore better than a whale
Not so
There is no end point of all creation
Just selection for an ever-changing niche--it's adaptation
Second, that selection happens over greater populations
It's an average, not a direct sign of deformation
So if stupid people die, you shouldn't let it fuel your narcisissm

Monkeys' sexual stimulus is primarily visual
Actually, that's the case for all male primates, and possibly all female primates but the visual cues to status are hard to interpret outwith one's own species
Sadly, in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia monkeys can’t view porn online because they don’t have ID to verify their age.

Click on the article and go down a bit. There's a lady monkey with a ripe, red perineum.
And then some poor schlepp labeled a "low-status monkey." Can you imagine the ego hit that poor wee thing took after reading that?
No matter how dryly scientific they tried to make the process of doing this experiment, you can’t get around the fact that at some point they had to become monkey pornographers. That had to be an awkward day at the lab.

It blows my mind how poorly some people write these research papers. The summary doesn't do much other than just state fact after fact about the study rather than properly sum it up and convey value to a reader.
Feels like it was just done purely with A.I. Wouldn't be surprised if they just copy/pasted the text of the study into chat-gpt and asked for a summary. Amazing what the world has become :)
“Male rhesus macaques sacrificed fluid for the opportunity to view female perinea and the faces of high-status monkeys but required fluid overpayment to view the faces of low-status monkeys.”
💦
There was a study done that I read about on monkeys and it was shown that lady monkeys would perform sexual favors in exchange for food.
I do not recall the specific species or whether they were wild or not but it was still interesting.
As I recall it was not just sexy photos. I believe they also went for photos of "high status" monkeys as well. The roots of porn, gossip, and celebrity worship run deep in the human psyche.
Scientists had to pay the monkeys to look at lower-status monkey butts, meaning they’re not into amateur.

It literally explains the methodology at the start of the Paper(?)

I just want to know who was the scientists deciding which monkey pics were hot or not
The scientists didn’t decide that, the monkeys did.

The place looks like that most likely not FOR the scientists themselves.
You gotta make it sexy! Hips and nips!
Those were the lady monkeys that wanted the high status pics. Whatever the hell that means.
K-Pop stans.
Not to sound condescending to monkeys, but what constitutes a "high status" monkey, and how can it be determined by photo alone?
I assume they’re high status within the test population so the paying monkeys would already be personally familiar with those individuals
No, but you're correct in that's how they started, with photos of the alpha male macaque, then photos of similar looking ones There are patterns of fur colouration we can distinguish, and _possibly_ grooming patterns that we can't, that indicate monkey status Interestingly, bite marks _raised_ the status of already-high status males, and _lowered_ it for low status ones It's a truly fascinating study, combining teaching monkeys abstract concepts (money exchanged for goods), then learning they appreciate fairness (one monkey got two grapes for a coin every time, other monkeys got one.

I’m guessing if he kept losing fights he wouldn’t be high-status.

Wait, are you saying that scars being cool if you're attractive is hardwired into the monkey brain?
I'm not saying anything The study itself just reported the facts, and then in the summary a correlation with humans was added
Fair enough, that was obviously just my interpretation of that data anyway.
