BBC: Psychologist's work with monkeys may shed light on significance of self-awareness in humans

A story on BBC reports monkeys trained to play computer games have helped to show that it's not just humans that feel self-doubt and uncertainty, according to a study conducted by J. David Smith, professor of psychology. "These results…could help explain why self-awareness is such an important part of our cognitive makeup and from whence it came," he said. The article was picked up by a number of South Asian news outlets, including MSN India and the Times of India.
