24、o prosocially provide valuableresources to the group members even if they couldnt benefit themselves from their behavior.”said DeTroy.Further research may reveal what lies behind their prosocial motivation.But for now,its safe to assume thatchimpanzees are not simply aping human behavior.8.Which of

32、d study author Corsin Muller.Instead,our results suggestthat the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes,and the same ruleapplies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.With our study,we think we can now confidently conclude that at least s

33、ome dogs can distinguish humanfacial expressions,Muller toldLive Science.At this point,it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facialexpressions in humans.To us,the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living withhumans,which
