In a comparative study between rhesus macaques, capuchin monkeys, and humans it has been found that the monkeys can find a stable solution in a particular game, the Hawk-Dove game. In this game the two opponents have to decide whether they fight or yield; if only one fights this one gets a larger reward and the other a small one, if both fight no reward is given, and if both yield both get a small reward. All primates find a good solution, but only humans were able to come up with the fair solution to alternate the roles of fight and yield.
