Content warning: One will be extremely sad and dissapointed at humanity.

Man yeah... that's some heartbreaking stuff. I was (oddly) relieved to see that these horrible experiments actually did lead to improvements in how humans raised their young.

> Physical contact with infants was considered harmful to their development, and this view led to sterile, contact-less nurseries across the country.

A view which these experiments apparently contested, and now is probably widely regarded as abhorrent.

Poor monkeys though.

		I was amazed reading this: > Critics of Harlow's research have observed that clinging is a matter of survival in young rhesus monkeys, but not in humans, and have suggested that his conclusions, when applied to humans, overestimate the importance of contact comfort and underestimate the importance of nursing. I don’t know how one (especially anyone who has raised a child) could think contact is less important in humans or that this doesn’t generalize.
