Five primate species follow the visual gaze of conspecifics
Article Abstract:
Individuals belonging to five primates species were investigated experimentally for their capacity to follow the gaze of conspecifics to an outside object. The species were chimpanzees, sooty mangabeys, rhesus macaques, stumptail macaques and pigtail macaques. Results showed that subjects from all species were able to follow the gaze of conspecifics, looking to the food about 80% of the time in experimental trials, in contrast to 20% of the time in control trials.
