Ultimatum game behaviors Unfair offers in many animals elicited activity in the brain areas related to both emotion and cognition. Before we tackle that we also note that reciprocity and fairness, alongside empathy and compassion are the pillars of morality among animals. If we can be guided by the reaction of capuchin monkeys; where they did get offers from humans that were largely unfair, in this case one of them getting a raw deal, the victim protested and even rejected the offer. Where an animal was involved to another animal, there was more equity in that they chose equitably to share the offers or even helped each other get a reward even where one was not particularly interested.

Question 2: Method that would allow better…
