Washington : A new research published in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has proved that apes share striking similarities in emotional development with humans.The research report has stated that
They were also observed comforting apes in distress by kissing, embracing or touching. This makes the species an ideal candidate for psychological comparisons.
