Economics research, conceptual artwork
Economics research. Conceptual artwork representing research carried out on the economics and sharing strategies of humans and chimpanzees. The research with the chimpanzees involved a pile of raisins, and testing to see whether the two participants objected if the raisins were divided unequally. The human test (using money) was carried out with twins, where it was found that identical twins were more likely to use the same strategy than fraternal twins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a thought-provoking conceptual artwork representing the fascinating research conducted on the economics and sharing strategies of both humans and chimpanzees. The experiment involved an intriguing examination of how these two species respond to unequal divisions, using raisins as a stimulus for the chimpanzees. The image captures a pile of raisins, symbolizing this unique test that aimed to determine whether the participants objected when faced with an uneven distribution. Intriguingly, parallel research was carried out with human twins, employing money as a medium for testing their economic behavior. Astonishingly, it was discovered that identical twins were more inclined to adopt similar strategies compared to fraternal twins in this financial experiment. The photograph beautifully combines elements of nature and commerce, illustrating the intersection between animal behavior and game theory within economics. It highlights the connection between primatology and mathematics by showcasing graphs alongside illustrations of chimps wearing suits – symbolic representations of traders or bankers. This exceptional artwork not only sheds light on biological choices but also invites contemplation about our shared evolutionary history with these intelligent creatures. Through its vivid depiction, it encourages us to ponder upon complex questions surrounding economic decision-making processes observed in both humans and animals alike.
