Is the hand on the forehead thing sth innate for them or is it sth they learned from observing humans? Ive seen other monkeys havevthis kind of reaction for surprises too. I wonder if its a behavior wild monkeys also do

I've seen apes and gorillas roll their eyes in irritation so there's clearly some body movements that are not learned but just innate for humans and primates.

It’s a reaction that humans learned from their monkey uncles.
