Chimps smarter then Humans lol

news.bbc.co.uk...

Chimpanzees have an extraordinary photographic memory that is far superior to ours, research suggests.

Young chimps outperformed university students in memory tests devised by Japanese scientists.

The tasks involved remembering the location of numbers on a screen, and correctly recalling the sequence.

The findings, published in Current Biology, suggest we may have under-estimated the intelligence of our closest living relatives.

This is pure jokes
i would have thought the chimps would be slight slower then humans
guess i was wrong

When Chimps start programing hexidemical code and making life in its own image than maybe they will be smarter than us..
That test is purely just showing they might have a better memory..
But I think chimps are only smarter than some people on this planet!! LOL

Well of course chimps are smarter than humans.They dont feel the need to create nukes,do they?

It's "smarter than..." Stupid human.

This kinda explains everything though...

university students in memory tests

For what possible reason could college kids have crappy memories?

Maybe Douglas Adams got the species wrong when he wrote this:

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons.

Now, we could probably learn quite a lot from chimps can we?

so long and thanks for all the bananas? doesn't have the same ring to it.
