Outline of Research at the Start |
The sight, smell, feel or sound of disgusting things can affect our ability to think clearly, but they may also provoke changes in our body, such as activating certain muscles of our face or decreasing our nasal temperatures. In this project, we will test whether this is also true for other great apes like chimpanzees. We previously observed behavioral responses by chimpanzees to disgusting things that resemble reactions of humans. We would like to go one step further now by investigating innate physiological responses, which could further highlight the origins of disgust in humans.
