Well considering I dislike 3 of the 4 previous comments...... I want to equal the playing field and say that Laurie Santos' work is revolutionary and intellectually outstanding, and in absolutely no way does it "dumb down" society; we have ignorant comments (see below) that do that just fine.
I think Laurie Santos would loose her money, for what I had seen from a student´s videotapes: a chimp finds a snake (toy) and he gets so surprise that he call others, particularly his brother to take a look (almost human as far as his surprise expression I would bet).
Every video in this series is an absolute joke. Only a nation dumbed down by public school (i.e. government) education could sit and imbibe this nonsense and suppose it worthy of the name 'knowledge.'
4:42 ~ it's a shame most of the ppl running the powerful institutions in society haven't grasped on2 their evolved potential 2 go beyond that either. We're still acting & taught to act on our reptilian instincts instead of our uniquely human capacity for complex reasoning - even tho outside of life-threatening emergencies the latter shud be dominant, the older reptilian brain is constantly bombarded with mass media signals to keep it at the forefront of what we collectively express as society.

@NeoConvert How exactly is this a joke? Are you a creationist bigot?
