Some primates are miserably aggressive to the point of murder. Chimpanzees will kill each other. In addition to evolving that, they also evolve a system that says: Enough. It’s over, let’s move on. It’s time for some version of reconciliation and it’s now called reconciliative behavior. Certain individuals have a higher rate of making up than was expected — grooming each other, things like that. What’s fascinating is that it’s not just random. There is a pattern that looks perfectly human, which is that not everybody reconciles with each other, but some pairings are more likely to reconcile.

If someone stole from me, but then returned it and remorsed I’d probably forgive them

What we are seeing is that the more valuable your relationship with the other animal, the more likely you are to make up afterwards. This was shown in a brilliant study written by a researcher named Marina Cords at Columbia University. She took some macaque monkeys, captive ones, and devised two different situations. Under one the animals were in two separate cages next to each other and had to individually carry out a task in order to get a food reward. The other scenario was that they had to do a cooperative task instead. What she showed was that the ease of cooperation, when the pair had worked together on a regular basis, made them more likely to reconcile after tension. This is akin to saying, “Whoa, he and I go back thirty years to kindergarten, and we’ve got a good working relationship. It’s probably worth it to work this out, to get past the tension.”

so this is what i'm getting at cuz i think forgiveness is an evolved behavior

yes you can forgive them but you wouldnt ask them to house sit for you while youre gone for 3 days

No

I would forgive them but I’d never have anything to do with them again tbh
