Meanwhile, this evidence indicates the early categorical neural distinction between animate targets that require social handling and inanimate targets that require functional handling among humans, great apes, and Old World monkeys [Forrester et al, 2011[Forrester et al, , 2012[Forrester et al, , 2013Zhao et al, 2015Zhao et al, , 2016.…”
