　　From < The police are a bunch of monkeys >摘自(经济学人)Jan 26th 2006

　　Dr Flack thinks that monkey societies also have police. Moreover, removing those police makes such societies less happy places.

　　……

　　To look at the effect of such policing, the team first recorded details of the social network between members of the group. They looked at such things as grooming, sitting in contact with or close to others, and play. Then they rounded up and removed the male police for ten hours on a randomly chosen day once a fortnight (they left the female because they thought that removing her would be socially disruptive for other reasons). Ten hours was reckoned long enough for the effects of the police's absence to be noticed, but not so long that the remaining males would start manoeuvring to occupy the vacant alpha positions.

　　It turned out that policing is the keystone of macaque society.Removing the police resulted in the remaining monkeys grooming fewer others, playing with fewer others and dividing up into cliques as the social network that held the troop together broke down. The number of aggressive incidents also increased.

　　Dr Flack thinks that the role of policing in these monkeys is to allow individuals to socialise widely at little risk and thus hold a large troop together, since the police will intervene if things get out of hand. The benefit to the police themselves, presumably, is the size of the troop, with the attendant virtues of defensive strength and (for the males) more available females. In simian as in human society, rank hath its privilege—and its obligations, too.

　　≡参考答案：≡

　　据计算，10个小时已经足以显示缺少警察的结果，但是还不足以使的剩余的雄性猴子开始行动起来占据空出来的首席位。 把猴群警察移走的结果是剩余的猴子相互梳毛、相互玩耍的行为减少了，并分成了几个帮派。因为把整个群体集合在一起的社会网络瓦解了。 Flack博士认为警察在猴群中的作用是在几乎没有危险的情况下让单个猴子能够广泛交际，因而能够保持群体的集合。因为警察会在局面难以控制时进行干预。
