PrepTest 84, Section 2, Question 21
A chimp who displays feelings of affection toward the other members of its social group is more likely to be defended by these group members from raiders outside of the group�even at the risk of harm to these defenders�than are those chimps who rarely or never display feelings of affection toward their associates. This shows that, from a sociological perspective, affection plays the same role in chimp communities as in human communities, since humans are more willing to face risks to protect those toward whom they have feelings of affection.
