Abstract in brief

  • Primates have evolved the ability to tell lies and detect lies for survival and reproductive benefits.
  • While conscious judgments of lying are only slightly better than chance, unconscious mental processes can more accurately detect deception.
  • Experiments show that indirect methods of lie detection are more effective than direct questions, suggesting that detecting lies might often occur automatically rather than through conscious analysis.
