Abstract
Grossmann's argument for the "fearful ape hypothesis" rests on an incomplete review of infant responses to emotional faces. An alternate interpretation of the literature argues the opposite, that an early preference for happy faces predicts cooperative learning. Questions remain as to whether infants can interpret affect from faces, limiting the conclusion that any "fear bias" means the infant is fearful.
