    fruits against the green backgrounds of forests and jungles (Osorio et al., 2004). New World monkey color vision is an evolutionary puzzle because the same evolutionary pressures for finding food should act similarly on both sexes. According to van Roosmalen (1985), it is a hypothesized that dominant female spider monkeys lead the group to food sources, suggesting why there may be a difference in these animals due to their ecology. As there is only one study to date about spider monkey color vision and

Harry Harlow’s experiment with infant monkeys put this idea to the test to see if humans do rely on the “importance of warm contact” (king,2017), or if it is simply the emotion of loving someone. "Many of the existing theories of love centered on the idea that the earliest attachment between a mother and child was merely a means for the child to obtain food, relieve thirst, and avoid pain” (Cherry,2017). This experiment
