Fish freeloaders get punished

An international research team including experts from the University of Queensland has looked to cleaner fish to appreciate how humans may have evolved to punish freeloaders. Published today in leading journal Science, the research shows that understanding the behaviour of self-interested cleaner fish in response to personal loss may be a key step toward understanding why humans find it necessary to punish a third party when they receive no direct benefit.

Explanation:
Ovdje je riječ 'freeloaders' upotrebljena u općenitom smislu, obzirom da se ne radi samo o takvim ribama nego i o ljudima, a detaljnije o ribama je riječ u nastavku ('clearner fish').
