Today's research that replicates findings from one population in another population, which Robert calls "and monkeys!" because I wrote an essay on a cognitive exam about the various human populations showing dissociations between the ability to identify objects and locate them in space but amended it with "^and monkeys" because I wanted to describe a specific monkey study in detail:
"Newly born rabbits presented with milks of murine, ovine, bovine, equine, or human origins remain behaviorally inert, whereas they are extraordinarily aroused by rabbit milk....The current data indicate that newborn rabbits are endowed with specialized odor-guided responses that may preexist direct sensory exposure."
