Saat pemilihan umum (pemilu) berlangsung sengit, para ahli survei, pakar, dan pengamat sibuk mencari petunjuk untuk memprediksi hasilnya. Namun, bagaimana jika jawabannya bukan terletak pada data politik atau strategi kampanye, melainkan pada naluri primitif otak manusia? Penelitian terbaru yang saya lakukan terhadap monyet rhesus macaque menunjukkan bahwa dalam mengambil keputusan seperti memilih kandidat, manusia ternyata tidak se-rasional yang mereka pikirkan.

As Election Day looms with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump locked in a dead heat, pollsters and pundits are scrambling for clues to predict the outcome. But what if the answer lies not in political data or campaign strategies, but in the instincts of a primitive part of the human brain?

As Election Day looms with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump locked in a dead heat, pollsters and pundits are scrambling for clues to predict the outcome.
