Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #46834 Networking primates
Instructions
Good  news  for  big  time  networking  primates:  other  primates  that  live  in  large  social  groups  have  more  street  smarts  than  their  comrades  with  smaller  social  circles.  So  finds  a  study  in  the  journal  Los  ONE.  Researchers  tested  the    under  which  lemurs  would  pilfer  food  from  people.  The  study  included  ring-tailed  lemurs,  which  come  from  large  social  groups,  as  well  as  lemurs  from  small-groups,  like  the  mongoose  lemur.  The  lemurs  all  had  the  same  brain  size,  so  would  be  presumed  to  have  similar  raw  .  Humans  sat  in  a  room  with  either  a  plate  of  food  on  the  table  in  front  of  them  or  behind  them.  A  third  group  of  people  was  blindfolded,  with  the  plate  in  front  of  them.  Lemurs  from  large  social  groups  tended  to  steal  the  food  if  the  person's  back  was  to  it.  Lemurs  from  smaller  social  groups  went  for  the  food  as    regardless  of  its  position.  And  no  lemurs  appeared  to    the  purpose  of  a  blindfold.  The    interpret  the  results  as  showing  that  social  factors  can  influence  a  species  smarts.  So  you  could  be  outwitted  by  a  birdbrain,  if  he  has  a  lot  of  friends.
