Human social interaction and naturalism in neuroscience research.

Ronald Hoy

Social interaction is critical to the survival of humans, non-human primates, and other animals. Humans with better social skills are more likely to obtain access to resources and tend to be healthier. Similarly, social connections in non-human primates improve life span in numerous species, including monkeys and macaques. Social practices, for example, face and look handling, observational learning, participation, and rivalry are fundamental for the endurance and are significantly directed by both cortical and subcortical mind locales
