Abstract

Cooperation can be hard both in the human and the animal world. A recent documentary on teamwork shows two chimpanzees who had to cooperate in order to get a banana.1 They were in separate but neighbouring enclosures. Outside were two tables, each with a banana on it. The chimpanzees could pull the tables towards themselves if each pulled on a rope attached to one of the tables. Only if they both pulled their own rope at the same time would both tables move, and would each chimpanzee get hold of a banana. They could do that.
