" The challenge was to teach the monkeys the concept of currency – a task that took about six months. Initially puzzled by the coins, the capuchins gradually learned to trade them for treats, a basic yet significant understanding of currency. "
" Chen’s introduction of price shocks – doubling the cost of favored foods – tested the monkeys’ understanding of economic incentives. Remarkably, the capuchins adjusted their choices in response to these changes. They rationalized their decisions by purchasing less of the now-expensive favorite foods and more of the cheaper alternatives"
" Even more strikingly, the observed instance of transactional sex for a coin among the monkeys revealed a sophisticated level of understanding and rational use of money, extending beyond basic necessities to social transactions. "
" This study not only highlights the innate aspects of economic behavior but also suggests that certain economic principles, such as responding to incentives and rational decision-making, may be more universally present across species than previously recognized."
