Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere. We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop. But why? So we can—talk. Thus chimpanzees can do this—we can’t:pic.twitter.com/CDznxg37p1

thats not what was asked for. here is a picture of a dog. what was asked is for evidence. the evidence is not there. worse: the claim has been repeatedly refuted (its just overtrained chimps). see e.g.: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/45629789_Do_young_chimpanzees_have_extraordinary_memory …pic.twitter.com/O0p0chmqAp

Claudio, interesting response sir. The work product of this university research is on the site. Why you want to degrade the work of other scientists doing pure research is not clear. All you point to is a single paper desktop “debunk” and not replicate. That’s not science sir.

What's cool about this exercise is that we do it in boxing. I believe it was Lomachenko who started doing it, alongside some block building exercises.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

So, your answer to the question, do the humans receive as much training as the chimps? is, we worked on this for X years, therefore, we are right?

once trained, effect difference goes away:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/45629789_Do_young_chimpanzees_have_extraordinary_memory …

How far have we come, to have such a simple yet magnificent exchange of information in which every party comprised of individuals not physically, but mentally connected, is mindful of scientific skepticism and attentive to rigour of evidence?
