What grosses out a chimpanzee?
The origin of disgust,do you know what grosses out a chimpanzee? find out.Chimps show increased latency to feed, and tendencies to maintain greater distances from possible contaminants and/or outright refusals to consume food in test conditions, hinting at the origins of disgust in humans.
In their natural habitats, chimpanzees are known to pick up seeds from feces and re-ingest them. In captivity, some practice coprophagy: the deliberate ingestion of feces. These behaviors usually involve their own fecal matter, or that of their closest family members. If presented with feces and other bodily fluids from others, however, that's an entirely different story.
A series of novel experiments show that chimpanzees delay eating food items placed atop replica feces compared to the more benign brown foam; generally stay further away from the smell of potential biological contaminants; and recoil from food items associated with soft and moist substrates.
If chimpanzees and other primates can discern contamination risk using different cues then individuals with higher sensitivities to feces and other bodily fluids may be less infected. This could have important health benefits.
