Abstract

Cross-fostered chimpanzees Moja, Pili, Tatu and Dar were raised from birth in an environment modeled after that of human infants. The current study reviewed records of the cross-fosterlings from birth to 24-months for instances of empathy. This report compares infant cross-fosterlings and human infants with regard to empathetic behavior.
