Marc Hauser, a psychology professor and director of Harvard's Cognitive Evolution Laboratory, recorded monkeys doing more than they really did. The University is investigating.
Hauser was voted one of the University's most popular professors.
He is the author of Moral Minds: How Nature Designed Our Universal Sense of Right and Wrong (Ecco, 2006) and is at work on a forthcoming book titled Evilicious: Why We Evolved a Taste for Being Bad.
