...quite small. “Lots of the questions that I and my students have become interested in are questions that demand a different kind of species and testing environment,” said Hauser. He said they’d gotten to a point when they needed a bigger sample size, which could be provided by dogs that, unlike monkeys, would be brought by volunteers. “I’ve got 40 tamarins, and I can have 100 dogs,” he said.
