Jealousy Human Trait that may exist in High Primate

Biological Approach and Behavioural Approach:
Evolution involves competition
Gaining resources = More chance of survival = Pleasure
Losing resources = less chance of survival = fear
when others gain resources, we have a less chance of survival, causing fear, and unhappiness, which leads o jealousy
Resources may be:
1) physical/emotional attractiveness = more chance of finding a mate = more chance of survival and reproduction
2) Money = better food, sanitary, shelter = more chance of survival (better health ad education)

Cognitive Approach:
Faulty thinking may cause jealousy
e.g. only focusing thoughts on the negatives of what you have, and seeing the positives of what others have

In a video a male monkey felt Jealousy and had a ramapage when female monkey picked other monkey for sex.
