Alright, so the summaries at Volokh.com and Instapundit.com are a pretty funny. However, this has nothing to do with porn. Monkeys are showing social behaviors that can be linked to brain actions that may go wrong in autism patients.
In the March issue of Current Biology, researchers from Duke University report that monkeys will pay to see pictures of high ranking monkeys they do not have previous experience with. They focus on female bottoms because, like dogs, that is how social connection is made.
I am excited. For those of us in the biology realm, this is big news. And for anyone who knows someone with autism personally, we are one step closer to understanding.
