| I don't think it is as simple as the Chimps not having to learn like we do, the thought patterns are similar to our own.
Anybody ever seen or heard of Coco the Gorilla who picked her partner from a tv screen (basically online dating) and she sign languaged to one of her keepers whether she liked a certain male gorilla?
She'd sign language one was too fat, or this one was too old, or unhealthy, until she went ape sh*t over one and started repeating her sign language that "Coco Likes" and "Bring to Coco"
It's because they can not communicate like we do that we think they don't think like us. Complex vocal communication is their only real limitation. |
