CHIMPANZEE TANTRUMS
Scientists in the U.S. have found that chimpanzees
become upset when they make the wrong decisions.
Researchers from Duke University designed decision-making
games for chimpanzees and bonobos, where the animals
could win edible treats. Those that lost appeared to lose their
temper.
The Duke University team designed two games – one to
test patience and the other assessing risk-taking.
The second was a sort of gambling game where the forty chimps and bonobos the team
studied were offered a choice between a safe option – six peanuts hidden under a bowl – or a risky
option. The second bowl concealed either a slice of cucumber or a much tastier piece of banana,
and that prize wasn’t revealed until the ape had made its choice.
When one chimp, named Timi, gambled and got the cucumber, he threw what looked and
sounded very much like a tantrum. Although some were more stoic than Timi, many of the animals
involved showed an emotional response to a bad decision – anxiously scratching themselves or
calling out.
The study, the scientists say, suggests that emotions like frustration and regret – so
fundamental to our own decisions – are not uniquely human, but are an important and ancient part
of ape society.”

ECONOMIC WOES SHRINK SPAIN’S POPULATION
Spain's increasing economic problems have led to a shrinking population. The country's
National Statistics Institute stated that in the year to February 1st, Spain's total registered
population fell by 205,788. Analysts attribute much of this decline to immigrants fleeing the country
amid high unemployment and the explosion of the property bubble. There was also a sharp rise
in the number of Spaniards leaving the country in search of work abroad. This brain drain represents
a fall in the number of qualified and skilled workers in the event of the economy picking up pace
again. Albert Esteve, a demographics expert, explained why people are leaving, saying: “Spain is
less attractive because there are no jobs.”
Spain's economic woes are putting a huge social cost on all sectors of society. The middle
class in particular is suffering badly. The capital, Madrid, is seeing increasing numbers of universityeducated and professional people sleeping rough. Samur, a charity for the homeless, said 25 per
cent of those sleeping on the streets completed some kind of higher education. It also revealed
that over 40 per cent of them are homeless as a result of losing their job. The charity also reports
that homelessness has not dented enterprise. Many of those who lost their regular work are trying
to make ends meet by collecting and selling scrap metal, becoming street artists or putting their
musical skills to good use by busking.

The Modern Matchmakers
Sex and love
Internet dating sites claim to have brought science to
the age-old question of how to pair off successfully. But
___________ they?
FOR as long as humans have romanced each other, others
have wanted to meddle. Whether those others were parents,
priests, friends or bureaucrats, their motive was largely the
same: they thought they knew what it took to pair people off better than those people knew themselves.
Today, though, there is a new matchmaker in the village: the internet. It differs from the old ones in two ways.
First, its motive is purely profit. Second, single wannabe lovers are queuing up to use it, rather than resenting
its adverse criticism. For internet dating sites promise two things that neither traditional matchmakers nor
chance encounters at bars, bus-stops and bar mitzvahs offer. One is a vastly greater choice of potential
partners. The other is a scientifically proven way of matching suitable people together, enhancing the chance
of “happily ever after”.
The greater choice is unarguable. But does it lead to better outcomes? And do the “scientifically tested
algorithms” actually work, and deliver the goods in ways that traditional courtship (or, at least, flirtation)
cannot manage? These are the questions asked by a team of psychologists led by Eli Finkel of Northwestern
University, in Illinois, in a paper released—probably not coincidentally—a few days before St Valentine’s
Day. This paper, published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, reviews studies carried out by
many groups of psychologists since the earliest internet dating site, Match.com, opened for business in 1995.
In it, Dr Finkel and his colleagues cast a sceptical eye over the whole multi-billion-dollar online dating industry,
and they are deeply unconvinced.

THE SURPRISING TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN’S HEARTS

10
Last month America's unemployment rate climbed to 8,1%,
the highest in a quarter of a century. For those newly out of a job,
the chances of finding another soon are the worst since records
began 50 years ago. In China 20m migrant workers (maybe 3% of
the labour force) have been laid off. Cambodia's textile industry, its
main source of exports, has cut one worker in ten. In Spain the
building bust has pushed the jobless rate up by two-thirds in a year,
to 14.8% in January. And in Japan, where official unemployment
used to be all but unknown, tens of thousands of people on
temporary contracts are losing not just their jobs but also the
housing provided by their employers.
The next phase of the world's economic downturn is taking
shape: a global jobs crisis. Its contours are only just becoming clear,
but the severity, breadth and likely length of the recession, together
15 with changes in the structure of labour markets in both rich and
emerging economies, suggest the world is about to undergo its
biggest increase in unemployment for decades.
The Economist, March 14th 2009.

While women are less likely to suffer heart attacks than men, once
a woman suffers her first attack she is 70 per cent more likely to die
from it than a man. These surprising new findings highlight the need for
medical staff to be more vigilant against heart disease in women.
Researchers at the Municipal Institute of Medical Research in
Barcelona studied 331 women and 1129 men who had suffered their
first heart attack. The researchers report in The Journal of the American
Medical Association (vol. 280, p. 1405) that women were 72 per cent
more likely to die within the first 28 days, and 73 per cent more likely to
die within the first six months. “We were surprised that women were
so much more at risk,” says Jaume Marrugat, who led the Spanish
team.
Marrugat notes that women were less likely to get clot-busting
treatment than men, and that they generally took more time getting to
hospital – problems that may reflect the low priority doctors put on heart
disease in women. Heart specialist Graham McGregor of St George’s
Hospital Medical School in London also notes that women tend to be
older than men at their first heart attack because they have some
hormonal protection against heart disease until menopause. On average,
women in the Spanish study were five years older than the men.
“These are important factors to consider but they can’t account for
the whole difference,” says Marrugat. “Women have more
complications in the first six months and their initial heart attacks may
be more severe.” He speculates that narrower coronary vessels in
women may be a factor. Nonetheless, heart disease remains a bigger
killer of men than women.
