Here's my $.02:
1) The kind of stress these monkeys were exposed is probably what would be termed *severe* child abuse in humans--you know, like being locked in a closed until puberty and never allowed to see another monkey. They never learned how to be proper monkeys.
2) Some of those monkeys probably did better than others.
3) We are not monkeys. The common ancestor of rhesus monkeys and humans lived *millions* of years ago. Forget about the 95% of DNA BS. It's probably not true, and even if it is, it's misleading.
4) On a personal note, when my meds have worked I've been an entirely different person. I think I'll always be susceptible to stress, though.
