Chimps Beat Humans on Memory Tasks
Young Chimps' Photographic Memory Better than Adult Humans
http://www.abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=3948256&page=1
From the article:
"In a memory competition of man versus chimp, Japanese researchers
found that chimpanzees performed better than humans. "No one could
imagine that chimpanzees -- young chimpanzees at the age of 5 -- have
a better performance in a memory task than humans," Kyoto University
researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa said in a statement."
Traveler, Are we to surmise from this that chimps (at least young
ones) have a "spirit" guiding this phenomenon?
