reported under this heading Christian Weber on research by Professor Julia Fischer (SZ 24 Feb 2010). Remarkably their observation that baboons are struggling to distinguish different large quantities of nuts, but easily distinguish different sized pebble clusters (and subsequent reward) is. Ms. Fischer suggested "that the animals come from sheer gluttony counting the raisins by themselves and easy access" (C. Weber).
hypothesis of Ms. Weber:
"pulse suppression could be a prerequisite for abstract thought."
