Monkeys Play for Grapes

A few years back, a group of behavioral scientists conducted an experiment with a group of monkeys. They trained the monkeys to hand a scientist a rock in exchange for a cucumber chip. This became their routine over a period of time. The scientists then began giving a different reward to a select few monkeys. Those select few were given the highly prized reward of grapes for performing the same task as the monkeys who received the less-valued cucumber chips.
