Young Chimp Beats College Students
'Think you're smarter than a fifth-grader? How about a 5-year-old chimp? Japanese researchers pitted young chimps against human adults in tests of short-term memory, and overall, the chimps won. That challenges the belief of many people, including many scientists, that "humans are superior to chimpanzees in all cognitive functions," said researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa of Kyoto University.'(please log in to view the image) Does that mean I'm more intelligent than y'all thought?'

I am not really suprised. Many other animals tend to have very superb memories. Example, an elephant.

They need this, to get back to places of water/food/mating etc., as they often travel back to those places years in between.

Chimps overall may have better short-term memory, but overall, human beings are more intelligent.

We most certainly are not as adapted to the environment as most animals are. We rely heavily on social mechanisms and blatant intelligence to be successful…not things such as claws…physical size/strength, exoskeletons, and even acute short term memories.

Funny how people say stuff like "we" when taking credit for something another person did.
