【 摘 要 】

Observations, experimental studies, and meta-analyses speak for a robust occurring of reciprocity in the social life of primates. An equally robust proximate mechanism, that is emotional bookkeeping can account for that occurrence. In this way, unnecessary assumptions related to delayed payoffs are cut out.
