    Alexandra G Rosati
    Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, Leipzig D 04103, Germany
    Curr Biol 17:1663-8. 2007
    ..Moreover, the different levels of patience that humans exhibit might be driven by fundamental differences in the mechanisms representing biological versus abstract rewards...

    Alexandra G Rosati
    Department of Evolutionary Anthropology, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA

    Sarah R Heilbronner
    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Biol Lett 4:246-9. 2008
    ..These results provide a relatively rare example of risk-prone behaviour in the context of gains and show how ecological pressures can sculpt economic decision making...

    Kara K Schroepfer
    Department of Evolutionary Anthropology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, United States of America
