How does a chimpanzee see the world? A research project at Edinburgh Zoo is designed to answer just that question in an innovative new way - by training chimps to use video touch screens and giving them a special chimp-proof camera. How will they react to tools which in evolutionary terms are a few million years ahead of them? As chimp specialist Betsy Herrelko finds out, trying to communicate with chimps using video technology has its trials and tribulations.

I am so far off from being a hippy its not even funny. What I hate about modern America is illiterate, violent, religious, stupid fat pigs that cant get off their asses and make America the go getting industrial powerhouse it used to be in the early 1900's, or the revolutionizers of law and invention like in the mid to late 1800's, or the the freedom fighting rebels standing for a cause and making it clear that everybody is free to do whatever they want with their own life like in the 1700's

how come the uk has great science specials and our history and discovry channel is being dumbed down to retard level

[dopeasfuckk]

yeah, the history channel in north america shows conspiracy theories and ufo speculations from rednecks. its nonsense

[MartianSanta]

@bulbinking what the hell does your fascist ramblings have to do with chimps?

@ShiningforceHero Despite the subjectivity of what is 'good' and what is 'bad', you really shouldn't need a religion to determine these things for you.

[ShiningforceHero]

@bulbinking whats wrong being religious? it shows that good is good and that Bad is bad and we should never harm anyone

[Ninje56]

@bulbinking If the world was full of hippies, we would never progress and we would still be living in the stone ages

@bulbinking illiterate?, religious?, you incorrectly suggest that these qualities are more prevalent in modern America.

[bambistar256]

@bulbinking illiterate?, religious?, you seem to think these qualities are more prevalent in modern America.

i LOVE chimps. wanna study them and work with them someday.

@Araminthe69 The chimps would be in edinburgh zoo anyway. And they are well looked after there and very happy. All research has to be put into the context of current science. There are questions being answered by this research about such things as cognition and the like. Its not just for 'entertainment'. Dont you find it interesting for its own sake? (This is coming from a die hard vegetarian and animal lover btw)

@pakistan1114 lots of money going to needy people you know that.
