my dad will pay to have these house calls in the future because having his last dog refuse to look him in the eye at the vet in her last moments because she was upset with him for leaving her there overnight instead of bringing her home broke his heart

quote:

LINCOLN — Nebraska led the nation in resettling the most refugees per capita during the last year, according to newly released federal government data.

The state welcomed 1,441 refugees, or 76 per 100,000 Nebraskans, between October 2015 and September 2016, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the U.S. State Department’s Refugee Processing Center and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Taking refugees in is cool and good.

likely the credit is due not to the state of nebraska, but rather to lincoln and especially omaha's existing vibrant immigrant communities

So you pride yourself on never forgetting a face?

Well, chimpanzees can do you one better.

Scientists at Leiden University in the Netherlands have discovered that chimps can recognize one another by their butts the way humans recall faces.

They detail their findings in a study called “Getting to the Bottom of Face Processing.”

“For chimpanzees, it’s all about the butt,” notes The Verge. “You won’t find a female chimp going ‘My eyes are up here,’ as it turns out that chimps often tell each other apart based on their behinds. Their brains even process butts in the same way that we process faces.”

Social animals need to be able to recognize one another quickly, and not just for identity. Humans faces communicate attractiveness and health.

Chimp buttocks supply the same type of information — as in whether a rear they see belongs to a relative or a female who is ovulating, according to LiveScience.

“Faces are enormously important for people, and all the features of our faces are optimally arranged to be seen and to communicate,” study author Mariska Kret, a neuropsychologist at Leiden University, said in a statement.

“In the course of evolution, our faces have acquired more contrast: red lips, the whites of our eyes, eyebrows and a smooth skin that makes everything more visible.”

For their experiment — which took place at a primate institute in Japan where Kret worked for nearly a year — researchers had both humans and chimpanzees match photos of various body parts — faces, butts, feet — and compared how they did.

“For example, you’d see a picture of someone’s foot and then later some other photos, and then would be asked to pick if that was the one you saw,” The Verge explained. “Some of these images were right-side-up, some were inverted. Then, they got chimps to do the same thing.

“Humans, as predicted, had the inversion effect for faces but not for butts. The chimps, on the other hand, had more trouble matching butt pictures when they were upside-down, but not face photos.”

Researchers determined that for the chimps, butts had “priority over other categories of objects,” Kret said.

Color also played an important role for the chimps, she explained in the online study.

“It is not without reason that it’s the face and buttocks of female primates that are free of hair, which makes the skin and color all the more visible,” she said.

“Primates’ eyes are perfectly set to distinguishing red tints. That’s why not only emotional expressions, such as blushing when we are angry or shy, become more visible, but also sexual arousal. It also explains why the buttocks of female chimpanzees are red.

“That may not apply to humans, but it does explain why women use lipstick and blusher.”
