Chimps beat adult humans at a cognitive (inteligence) task, page 1

Attention grabbing Title. However, contrary to how  many humans percieve other animals, the actual objective research (not biased opinions) suggests that some non human animals have  behavorial traits and cognitive skills that humans have.

Of course any reasonably informed person would expect chimpanzees to share many characteristics with humans as they share 99% of their D.N.A with us. But even some scientists (in the social sciences and phylosophy- not a true science) find it hard to put their bias to one side and accept the evidence that chimpanzees also have a "moral" aptitude.  (research shows they display behavoir that suggests they understand concepts such as fairness).

Some humans tend to be rather biased with their outlooks. And quite often in human culture when people behave badly others may judge them as "acting like animals". But it would also seem that when humans behave kindly towards one another they are also acting like animals. Well at least some of the higher groups of animals.

Hey slash I'd actually quite enjoy a more chimp like culture.

"Sexual activity generally plays a major role in bonobo society, being used as what some scientists perceive as a greeting, a means of forming social bonds, a means of conflict resolution, and postconflict reconciliation.Bonobos are the only non-human animal to have been observed engaging in tongue kissing, and oral sex"  

In other words Bonobos make any occasion an occasion to have sex. Maybe we should tell our politicians or religous leaders that before they decided to act or encourage violence they should   try and jerk one off  ;-).

;-)  lol. I've been born into the wrong species  :lol:
