"You know, its one thing to free the trapped rat that might be making alarm calls,so it's quite another thing to share the chocolate chips. And I,I was actually really, really surprised by that point." Jeffrey Mogil, of McGill University in Montréal, has previously shown how mice seem to pick up on the distress of their cage mates. He says this new study is a dramatic confirmation, that it's not just primates who can feel a friend's pain and try to help. "It's always been strange to me that people think that these social abilities that humans have are,are human-specific, as if they'd just arrived out of nowhere with no evolutionary antecedents." He says it looks like the roots of empathy and altruism go way back, and the rat experiment gives scientists a new tool for studying the biology of this behavior in the lab.
