Are animals stuck in time?
WA Roberts - Psychological bulletin, 2002 - psycnet.apa.org
People can time travel cognitively because they can remember events having occurred at
particular times in the past (episodic memory) and because they can anticipate new events …

The evolutionary origins of human patience: temporal preferences in chimpanzees, bonobos, and human adults
To make adaptive choices, individuals must sometimes exhibit patience, forgoing immediate
benefits to acquire more valuable future rewards [1–3]. Although humans account for future …
