Now researchers report in the September issue of <EM>PLOS Biology</EM> that infant monkeys also get in on the act: for up to 7 days after birth, rhesus macaques will imitate humans smacking their lips, opening their <A href="%20http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/feature/data/macaquemouth.avi">mouths</A>, and sticking out their <A href="%20http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/feature/data/macaquetongue.avi">tongues</A>. The findings indicate that emulation by newborn primates evolved earlier than previously thought.<EM> (Photo: Ferrari et al., PLoS Biology)</EM></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BE4E7717-2CA7-43E1-AA3C-964B713F44D7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
