Does anyone see the irony in this story? I guess the man's "universal sense of right and wrong" didn't serve him well. By the way, empirical studies of morality have nothing to do with normative studies of the sort conducted by moral philosophers. There is all the difference in the world between what is the case and what ought to be the case. Some things that are the case ought not to be, and some things that are not the case ought to be. It's also bizarre to be assimilating monkeys to human beings, since monkeys are not moral agents. I have no idea why anyone finds this man's research interesting.
