Imo

Imo is a macaque whose story appears in a discussion of imitation. The book points readers to Lee Dugatkin’s The Imitation Factor for the account, but the cited passage provides no further details about Imo’s actions, circumstances, or significance beyond identifying the story as a relevant example.

Source and Limits of the Account

The book directs readers to pages 170–72 of Lee Dugatkin’s 2001 book The Imitation Factor for the story of Imo. In the available evidence, Imo is named but the episode itself is not recounted. No particular behavior, other participants, setting, or consequence can therefore be established from this account alone.
