2 Why was Chimps angry with Seema? Do you think he was justified

Explanation:
Humans are the most cooperative species on the planet, and the most punitive. This is no coincidence. When I promise to take a friend to the airport to catch an early-morning flight, I have to overcome the temptation to sleep an extra couple of hours. My motivation to follow through on my promise is influenced by my awareness of the consequences: my friend will miss her plane, and I will feel guilty. My friend will probably be angry with me, and she may refuse to help me the next time I ask. Worse yet, she may tell other people what I did, and they may share her outrage and anger. The threat of these kinds of sanctions helps to sustain cooperation within dyads and larger groups (1–4). There is now considerable interest in the evolution of cooperation and punishment in human societies, and there have been a number of efforts to explore the phylogenetic origins of cooperative motives in other primates (4–8). Virtually all of the work on other primates has focused on the willingness to provide benefits to conspecifics. In this issue, Jensen et al. (9) turn the tables and examine chimpanzees' propensity to impose sanctions on familiar group members who commit transgressions.
To study chimpanzees' propensity for punitive behavior, Jensen et al. (9) devised an ingenious experimental protocol in which one chimpanzee was given the opportunity to respond to the loss or inaccessibility of valued food items by pulling a rope that caused a platform to collapse and the food to fall out of reach. This setup allowed the researchers to examine how chimpanzees responded when food was inaccessible or taken away from them, how they responded to disparities in outcomes between themselves and others, and their sensitivity to the role others played in their losses.
In the first experiment, Jensen et al. (9) compared the chimpanzees' responses to variation in the accessibility and desirability of rewards. Sensibly enough, chimpanzees were more likely to pull the rope and dump the items on the floor when they were given access to inedible pieces of plastic and bamboo than when they were given access to tasty items. Similarly, they were more likely to collapse the table when food was inaccessible to them than when it was placed within reach. So far, there is nothing particularly social about the chimpanzees' responses: when they are unable to obtain access to food, they are likely to pull the rope and collapse the table. The key finding from this experiment is that the chimpanzees were as likely to collapse the table when another chimpanzee had access to the food as when no one had access to the food. Thus, chimpanzees do not seem to retaliate against other chimpanzees simply for getting lucky.
In a second experiment, the researchers explored the chimpanzees' sensitivity to the nature of losses that they suffered. In this experiment, food was placed on a sliding platform that could be moved out of the actor's reach. As before, the actor could pull a rope that

caused the platform to collapse and the food to fall. In one condition, a human experimenter moved the platform away from the actor and slid it to within reach of another chimpanzee. In another condition, the experimenter did the same thing, but there was no other chimpanzee present to receive the food. In the last condition, a chimpanzee in the opposite cage was able to pull the platform away from the actor and gain access to the food. Not surprisingly, the chimpanzees were more likely to collapse the table when they lost food than when they were left alone to eat in peace. However, the chimpanzees were significantly more likely to respond punitively when they were victimized by other chimpanzees than when they were the victims of the experimenter's whims.

The culture, weather and beauty of Mussoorie are totally different and unique from other hill stations. Mussoorie is a hill station of Uttarakhand. I have traveled to many other hill stations in India with my friends and family, but when I visited Mussoorie for the first time last year, I found that Mussoorie is the best out of them. I have heard people saying that Mussoorie is 'the Queen of Hills' and I also recognized that this is totally true through my visit. On my visit to this beautiful hill station I found a lot of adventure sports activities like river crossing, valley crossing, rappelling, Rock Climbing, Sky Bridge, Sky Walk, bungee jumping and white water rafting here. The weather is always pleasant here. [caption id="attachment_1166" align="alignnone" width="300"]
