Was the Golden Rule Born in the Mind of a Monkey?

That was bizarre.

Reminds me, after some little research, what de Waal means by fairness, inequality is reciprocity, which in anthropology tends to refer to exchange, non-market, barter, gift exchange. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recipr..._anthropology)

But that makes de Waal's analogy with money strange.

At any rate this far from what most people call morality. I think people hear these specialized terms from science and, not knowing they have specialized meaning, take them to mean normal everyday meanings.
