Chimps reaction to magic tricks
As I was watching this video I was thinking to myself, why didn't anybody try that before. Only Japanese TV would think of something like that. There's our reaction to magic then there's kids reactions, animals who are completely oblivious to magic then there are chimps, after all they are the closest to us. You can see how chimps react to magic almost like us only with 10 times more expression of surprise.
10 Smartest animals in the world
1. Chimpanzees
Many researchers discover that chimps can learn a lot of thing that others can’t. Using symbols and teaching them to other chimps is only one of them. They also understand aspects of human language, including concepts of number and numerical sequence as well as some relational syntax. Chimpanzees make tools and use them to acquire foods, for social displays. Above all, chimpanzees have a better memory than any other creature, including humans. They are analytical and good in solving problem, clearly capable of insight and complex “cognitive performance” in both the captivity and in wild, and particularly adept at analyzing relative relationships. After all these traits, sharing 96% of their DNA with ours, chimpanzees deserve to top our list as the smartest animal in the world.
Spineless penises leads to bigger brains (this is a good one) ;)
Researchers in the faculty of medicine in Stanford university recently found out that big brains and a softer penis is the result of a DNA loss in our evolutionary road. By comparing the human DNA and chimpanzee's (our nearest evolutionary relatives), they found out that most of our differences are the result of the loss of a DNA sequence. Having monogamous relationships is apparently based on the loss of the penile spine. Animals like chimps and dogs, have a penile spine, which leads to a more competitive mating system.
