Re: Equal pay for primates
hahaha! I've read of the experiment but that pales in comparison to seeing it action. I like the analogy drawn at the end, too.
I don't know if you've ever read 'Next of Kin' by Roger Fouts, but it's sooo good. Lots of passages about de Waal, the guy in the video.

Re: Equal pay for primates
Awesome video!  I love how it captures the anger of the monkey grabbing and shaking the fence.
