Katrin Riedl from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, performed a curious experiment with chimpanzees. She set up a situation where a chimpanzee, using a set of pulleys and traps, could steal food from another chimp. A third chimpanzee, observing the theft, could then “punish” the thief by pulling on a rope, depriving the thief of its ill-gotten food. The idea was to see if chimps engaged in “third-party punishment” — that is, if a chimp would punish another chimp for wronging a third chimp.
