A brief, interesting clip from National Geographic's "Ape Genius" documentary, demonstrating problem solving skills in chimpanzees, by observing actions taken by an unrelated tribe.

This experiment was conducted at the University of Texas by Antoine Spiteri, et al.

As time goes on, it becomes more and more obvious that the great apes are our evolutionary cousins. I would hope everyone viewing this would be able to share in my astonishment and awe at the brilliance displayed by these amazing creatures.

  • Are you referring to the chimps? I don't believe they're actually attending the university of texas.
