  • more study is necessary, i like to think that they can count

  • i'm not saying it's far-fetched. i'm just saying these results are not very impressive and do not establish that they can count - not anything i would call counting anyway.

  • is it really that far-fetched that monkeys can count?

    there's evidence that dogs can count

  • 72 and 66% is really not impressive. since its a mutliple choice out of two, randomly clicking would have a 50% result.

    all they might be doing is seperating "many" from "few", and be bad at it.

    parrets can count better then that.

  • Give the monkey a banana! Monkey plus Annunaki = Human Being. haha

  • is crappy guessing

  • 50% is guessing...

  • LMAO i went into a computing exam without a clue and got 65%

  • 62% seems like its just guessing to me
