the summary of Nice Chimps

After reading the passage about the "Nice Chimps", we have concluded that chimpanzees are naturally generous. To start, researchers in Germany created three rounds of experiments to test the level of generosity of chimps and children. ( How could they tell them apart?!) First, the scientists tried to reach a stick, close to the chimp, and waited for a response from the animals. The response was surprising to see that they helped the scientist with his task. After a duplicate of the experiment, with the children, their results came back the same. Next, they raised the bar by building some sort of an obstacle course for the chimps to complete to reach a pencil for the scientist. As time went by, they received the same info as last time and proceeded in the children. In participation of another chimp, the animals went through a third set of experiments in testing their willingness to be helpful. Surprisingly, whatever happened with the teamwork, none of the chimps rewarded other chimps with bananas. (Imagine that!) As a result to the many tests, chimpanzees and children under the age of 18 months go out of their way to help others.
