Will this monkey's prediction come true in America's presidential election? Read the trends of the voters.

Pennsylvania. As the date of election for the post of President in America is getting closer, many things are also coming to light regarding who will be the President of the country. As the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump continues to escalate, election experts and pundits are scrambling to find clues to predict the outcome.

But what if the answer lies not in political data or election campaign strategies, but in the primal instincts of a primal part of the human brain. But recently, information has been received about rhesus macaque monkeys giving predictions regarding elections in America.

The study revealed about these monkeys

New research I conducted on rhesus macaque monkeys shows that when it comes to decisions like voting, people are not as rational as they want to believe. But humans also have a rational brain that can thoughtfully gather and compare evidence rather than relying on knee-jerk reactions.

Why does the rational brain seem to be hijacked by primal instincts in situations where rationality would prove better for people? This is one of the many reasons why my neuroscience colleagues and I have been studying the rhesus macaque for the past 25 years.

What are the specialties of these monkeys?

These monkeys are remarkably similar to humans genetically, physically and behaviorally. These similarities have allowed researchers to achieve incredible medical breakthroughs, including the development of vaccines for polio, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19, as well as breakthrough treatments for Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders.

Previous research has shown that adult humans and elementary school students alike can accurately predict election outcomes after quick exposure to candidate photos. A lot of evidence supports the idea that our primitive brain leads us to quickly form first impressions based on physical appearance. But researchers do not yet understand why this bias persists.

Information was found in the study

New research on rhesus macaques has provided some answers. The study report is under review in the journal 'Proceedings of the Royal Society B'. We showed monkeys photos of candidates from US gubernatorial and Senate elections, and they made accurate responses about the results based solely on visual features. Specifically, the monkeys spent more time looking at the loser than the winner.

Through this vision of monkeys, not only the election results but also the vote share of the candidates can be predicted. Of course, voters are not macaques. But the underlying basic instincts that people share with our primate 'primate' relatives can still subtly shape our decisions. Recognizing the role of these ancient signs can help people become more aware of how they exercise their power at the polling booth. As democracy evolves, so must humans' understanding of how to engage with it.
