Face facts: Even nonhuman animals discriminate human faces
Edward A Wasserman. Learn Behav. 2016 Dec.
Abstract
Humans are commonly believed to have evolved specially adapted neural systems for processing the rich and complex content of faces. However, nonhuman animals-including fish-have also shown a well-developed capacity for discriminating human faces, raising important questions concerning the uniqueness and mechanisms of human face perception.
